Success for Works of Art at Important Spring Sale





This season's final Live Auction presented consistently high quality. The great international interest in furniture and Works of Art resulted in fantastic final prices for objects by masters such as Haupt and Roentgen – a brilliant conclusion to an exciting auction season.

Among the more spectacular objects in the silver department, we can mention a rococo coffee pot by Petter Eneroth, a Swedish 16th century parcel-gilt silver spoon, and an early 19th century gold and enamel box.


With Royal Provenance



Highlights from the extensive carpet section included a large antique Agra, with provenance from Engestofte Castle in Denmark, an antique Keshan "Motachem," and "Falurutan Blue" by Barbro Nilsson. Among the category of other textiles, we can mention a woven tapestry from the 17th century.





Finally, the Asian department also succeeded, closing the last auction day with two lots exceeding one million SEK. The first was an 18th-century Zitan altar table (final price: 1,025,000 SEK), and the second was a bronze Tara sculpture (final price: 1,312,000 SEK), which was also the highest-priced Asian item of the season on the Nordic market. Other noteworthy items included four imperial porcelain dishes decorated with a red five-clawed dragon bearing the mark of Emperor Daoguang.

Masters & Royal Provenances: A Strong start for the Season’s Final Live Auction


Bukowskis’ Important Spring Sale began with furniture & Works of Art, Silver & Objects of Vertue, Glass & Porcelain, Carpets and Jewellery going under the hammer. Unique to this season was a section dedicated to objects with royal provenance.

The auction's first lot exceeding one million SEK was a Gustavian secretary by Georg Haupt, with inlays in the form of laurel wreaths, crossed sprigs, ribbon bows, and pendants, which sold for a final price of 2,250,000 SEK. Additionally, an imperial table by David Roentgen (Louis XVI, circa 1785-1790), with an estimate of 250,000 - 300,000 SEK, quickly gained momentum during the bidding and sold for a final price of 1,875,000 SEK. Other highlights from the furniture section included a pair of bureaus by the master craftsman Nils Petter Stenström, a bureau attributed to Fredrik August Eckstein, and an dining table from England in solid mahogany (George III, late 18th century), all reaching a final price far above estimate.

Among the Works of Art, we can mention a pair of marble-veneered mirrors from Northern Italy, a Gustavian chandelier from the later part of the 18th century, a pair of Empire candelabras, and several gilded table candelabras.
