Alkuperä - Provenienssi
The underside of the table marked with pencil: "13/6 1939". Dr. Englund bought the small table at Nordiska Kompaniet in Stockholm for his summer residence, a small island in Stockholm's outer archipelago. On the island, which was purchased a couple of years earlier, Dr. Englund had a small log cottage built from old logs from the demolished mission house in Spillersboda. The seller tells: "My father bought the table at NK when he wanted to decorate the cottage he built on Tättgrundet, which is next to Norröra, where the films "Saltkråkan" were filmed. He was interested in antiques and beautiful objects and decorated the cottage in a style inspired by Zorn and Dala cottages".
There in the old cabin on the "Doctor's Isle" as the island was sometimes called, the table has stood in the same place for over eighty years. The cottage eventually came to house a large family with four children. One of the daughters was the glass artist Eva Englund.
