Now we've reached the Realm of Affordable Swedish Modernism. For me, the ideal piece has to deliver a vibrant intensity, a date somewhere between 1920 and 1929, and a name so obscure that the auction world barely gives it a passing glance. And with this, we get all of it: Anton Anderberg’s colour-cacophonic sunset, complete with a few bathers placed just where they ought to be. Anderberg worked as a copyist at the Nationalmuseum, exhibited at the Baltic Exhibition, and later went to Copenhagen to study printmaking. In 1925, he found the time to create this very masterpiece.

In 1962, Swedish television aired its very first episode of Hylands hörna – a hugely popular talk show hosted by Lennart Hyland, often compared to The Graham Norton Show or Parkinson. Each week, Hyland welcomed celebrities, musicians, and public figures, with the set blending modern Scandinavian design with classic furnishings. One surviving piece from the programme’s set is this striking armchair, designed by Hans Olsen. Beautifully preserved, it carries a proud inscription on the front: HYLANDS HÖRNA 1965. One can only imagine the stories it could tell – and the famous guests who might have taken a seat in it. A piece of television – and design – history.

4294222. AN UNUSUAL BURLEIGH POTTERY 'MARCHING SOLDIERS' JUG. |
The Burleighware Guardsman jug couldn’t be from any other place or time - the steadfast marching figures are undeniably British, and the geometric lines of the legs in sync scream Art Deco. This iconic piece isn't an isolated curio; it actually marches in step with a wider tradition of eccentric novelty jugs at Burleigh Pottery.
Burleigh has been operating in the heart of the Potteries since 1851, but their golden years are considered to be the interwar period. During this period Charlotte Rhead was producing her sophisticated and bold tube-lined patterns, but the factory was also turning out a menagerie of animal jugs and character jugs depicting everyone from smiling golfers to mischievous pixies. |
|
The handles were integral to the design – a climbing squirrel, the Pied Piper with rats gathered at his feet – showcasing a real sense of fun and ingenuity. |
