IRIS MENCKEL-OLSSON Estimate: 8 000 SEK |
| I can't decide whether I want to shout her name or whisper it almost silently to keep it a well-guarded secret known only to a few of us.
Studies under Antoine Bourdelle and André Lhoté. Participation in the Paris Salon of 1923. Rarely seen at auction. And clearly blessed with an extraordinary sense of imagination. Just look at the monkeys! |

It’s been tough selecting an item this week as Lawrence’s 20th Century Modern Art & Design sale is full of pieces I love! The furniture selection has many iconic chairs, which probably need no introduction for me, so I’ve turned my attention to this Troika vase instead. Troika engaged in some unusual production methods and subscribed to the belief in form over function, leading to some of the most distinctive designs in British art pottery. This slab vase, with its striking blue textured finish, perfectly showcases their heavily textured wares.

Silver has been a sought-after and valuable metal for thousands of years—not only for its suitability in jewellery and status objects but also for its practical properties, such as its excellent thermal conductivity. It has also played a significant role in coinage and the photography industry.
Today, we frequently hear about record-high silver prices, driving up the intrinsic material value of antique silver objects. However, overall interest in antique silver has declined, and a fine 18th-century silver goblet now costs less than it did in the 1980s—even before accounting for inflation!
So, despite silver prices reaching record highs, I believe now is the perfect time to buy older silver. My personal favourite this week is a stunning bonbonnière with a charming penguin-shaped knob, crafted in Helsingborg in 1919! |
