In the graphics department, you will find Andy Warhol's "Three Portraits of Ingrid Bergman by Andy Warhol," alongside other major names like Pablo Picasso, Damien Hirst, and David Hockney.
The furniture and works of art department offers an exciting array of masterpieces, ranging from early Mediterranean cultures to the Swedish golden age of the late 18th century. Highlights include items from the world-famous collections of Emil Hultmark and Carl Kempe, featuring both a Horus Falcon and an extensive collection of gold artefacts. There are also several pieces by Georg Haupt and Gottlieb Iwersson, as well as an exclusive and rare cabinet from 17th-century Paris, during the time of the Sun King, Louis XIV. In the silver department, standout items include the tureen from the Sparre family collection by Simson Ryberg, a double-spouted teapot created by Bengt Hafrin, as well as an exquisite mirror and a gold snuff-box by Christian Precht.
In the carpet, textile, and Islamic works of art section, a rare Khan carpet that once belonged to Soltan Mohammad Khan Mo'in Homayoun Bakhtiari, known as "Sardar Ashja" (the bravest leader), stands out. Other notable items include an antique West Anatolian 'Transylvanian' double-nische carpet and two signed, semi-antique Seirafian carpets.
