Important Winter Sale – Day one
A strong first day at this season’s final Live auction
Bukowskis’ Important Winter Sale – the first day of the auction included high-quality objects of royal provenance and fascinating histories. Among the many highlights of the evening was a Boucheron tiara characterized by flying platinum and diamond dragonflies, beautiful silver items and a Gustavian chandelier.
The auction continues on Thursday, December 8th, with the art department, followed by the Asian Sale on Friday, December 9th. See the Art and Asian Ceramics and works of art catalogues here.
Silver tureen with lid Daniel Lundgren
”
When a piece of silver of this importance reaches the market, collectors line up for an opportunity to acquire a historical piece. A magnificent terrine where the softly shaped smooth surfaces contrast with richly decorated details. Originally part of a pair where the other is included in the collections at Stockholm Palace.
Lisa Gartz, Head Specialist Silver and Sculpture
A Swedish late 18th century Gustavian eight-light chandelier
”
It’s fantastic to sell a chandelier of the absolute highest quality, where the provenance and history can be followed all the way. The famous ”Österbykrona” had everything collectors and clients are looking for.

Tiara, “Boucheron”
”
The bids flew through the air like the dragonflies of the tiara! Finding one of these mythical belle époque pieces from the early 20th century is rare, and it was an unforgettable auction.
