Important Spring Sale presents W.A. Bolin Collection

At this seasons Important Spring Sale, Bukowskis has the honor of presenting W.A. Bolin Collection, a unique group of jewellery and silver objects created by the world-renowned Court Jeweller W.A. Bolin.

The Russo-Swedish family of jewellers started their business in St Petersburg in 1791 and established in Sweden in 1916. Bolin early specialized in jewellery and silver objects of the highest quality and quickly built a reputation as the most prominent jeweller in St Petersburg. The company became known all over Europe and in 1916 the doors opened in Stockholm.

W. A. Bolin continued to be one of Sweden's leading jewellers during the 20th century and, in addition to jewellery, they are also well known for its exclusive enamel work and silver.

Bolin has been appointed Court Jewellers to no less than five Russian tsars, a tsarevna and three Swedish kings. There are parallels between Bolin and Fabergé which are united by a distinct elegance and a high level of craftsmanship.

Bukowskis are delighted to present the Bolin family collection and W.A. Bolin Collection during the Important Spring Sale June 11 – 13.

Sofia Schwan was one of many women active in the Russian jewellery industry. She inherited the workshop from her husband, Robert Schwan, who was a workmaster for Bolin until his passing in 1895. The ownership gave her the right to use her own mark SS. Under Sofia Schwan's leadership Bolin produced some of the finest jewellery in the collection of the Imperial family.
