Provenance

Unbroken chain of ownership to this day.

Christina Bjelke (1747-1820) married Göran Posse, (b.1723) in 1764 (the initials C B and C I B). Their daughter Charlotta Gustava Posse (1777-1860) married Baron Claes Cederström (1772-1849) in 1798 (the initials C P). Claes Cederström renounced his nobility at the tumultuous parliament in 1800 in Norrköping and thereafter called himself Claes Claesson. Charlotta Gustava Posse and Claes Claesson had four children, one of them Carl Rudolf Claesson (1806-1898. Carl Rudolf Claesson had no children of his own formally, but lived a significant part of his life with the current owner's maternal grandfather Gustaf Björk. The relationship was a deep friendship. Gustaf Björk (1825-1895) married Carin Björk, née Eriksson. Their firstborn was Carl Björk (1852-1926), who married Hilda Aurelia Aurelius from Stockholm in 1905. Their daughter Carin Aurelia Björk (1907-1989), married Gustaf Robert Emanuel Uhr from Gävle in 1935. Thereafter inherited by the current owner.
