Helge Werner
(Sweden, 1883-1953)

a Swedish Grace gilt and carved writing cabinet, probably 1920s.

Stylized relief ornaments, lion paw's feet. The upper part's interior veneered with palisander and partly lacquered in black, brass drop handles to the three drawers, the lower part with shelves behind a door. Height ca 192 cm, width 75 cm, depth 40 cm.

Helge Werner (1883-1953) founded the firm AB Arkitektbolaget at Kungsträdgårdsgatan 12 in Stockholm 1925.

Helge Werner began his professional life as an officer at Västmanland's regiment in Västerås.
He was on leave from service 1913 – 1915 for music studies and more in Italy. He was also engaged as an opera singer in Elberfeld in Germany. His stay abroad had great significance for his artistic development.
When he was back in Sweden, he was hired to create a number of interiors in Stockholm, as an interior designer.
In 1925 he founded AB Arkitektkontoret at Kungsträdgårdsgatan 12 in Stockholm.
In 1929, Torsten Kreuger had acquired a castle just outside Stockholm, Häringe Castle. He got in touch with Helge Werner for renovation of the exterior but also for the design of furniture and other decorative elements, including a tapestry. The furniture is no longer at Häringe, but a tapestry designed by Helge Werner still hangs in one of the salons.
Helge Werner designed a number of cabinets which can be found, among other things, in Västerås museum and Värmlands Länsmuseum.
The cabinets Werner designed are signified by being richly decorated. They were often executed by the carpentry firm Sköld and Carlsson in Västerås.
Helge Werner painted both watercolors and oils throughout his life. Key included.

Minor wear. Electrical function not tested.
