Owner and cofounder of Japanska Magasinet, an antique shop in Stockholm founded 1909 by Eskil and his brother John Artberg (1878–1933). The brothers were active in trading Japanese and Chinese works of Art and also contributing by lending objects to the early exhibitions of both Japanese Works of Art, such as for example the one in 1911 at Konstakademin of Art and Chinese Works of Art. The shop first focused on Japanese Works of Art and Japanese papers that they sold to the Swedish Artists of the early 20th century, then after the war when the interest of Japanese Art cooled of, Eskil came to focus more on Chinese Works of Art. Both the Etnographic Musuem in Stockholm and Östasiatiska Museet in Stockholm hold items that has been purchased from Japanska Magasinet.
