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.

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.
