A highly unusual screen with United States Naval Insignia of Presidential intere
Located in Lymington, Hampshire
A highly unusual screen with United States Naval Insignia of Presidential interest. This three-fold screen is painted in watercolours with four roundels on each panel. One roundel encloses the Ogden family crest and the other eight have U.S. Navy Fighting Squadron insignia, all within a rope twist border. The squadrons represented include Fighting Squadron 6 or 31 (Felix the Cat holding a bomb), Observation Squadron 3 (Oswald the Lucky Rabbit on a missile), Cruiser Scouting Squadron 8 (leaping dolphins), Bombing Squadron 6 (leaping ram), Utility Squadron 3 (Pluto on a cloud), Cruiser Scouting Squadron 9 (Phoenix) and Utility Squadron 2 U.S.S. Saratoga (Rooster). American, circa 1935. Claude Augustus Swanson, the Secretary of the Navy appointed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, reputedly gave this screen to Johan Trumpy, a shipbuilder who provided important services to the U.S. Navy in WWII. Trumpy’s company designed the Presidential Yacht USS Sequoia used by Roosevelt while he was in office (1933-1945) and his ships were frequently chartered by Walt Disney before the War. The insignia were created as part of a major public works program directed by Roosevelt’s Federal Emergency Relief Administration in May 1935 and can now be found in the Smithsonian Institute. The Ogden family were highly connected throughout New England, New York and New Jersey. Two brothers, John and Richard, had emigrated before the middle of the 17th century and settled in New England as architects and master builders. Their descendants have been prominent in politics, commerce and the learned professions. The crest signifies the vale of oaks (oak-dene) granted by Charles II to John Ogden...

Room Divider by Fred Leyman
Located in Stockholm, SE
Spectacular sculptural room divider by Fred Leyman, custom-made for Majorna Library in Gothenburg in 1963. This piece is one of four that are each unique, made from wrought iron and hardened leather. The room dividers were granted substantial public interest and the studies for them were subsequently exhibited at Liljevalchs Konsthall in 1966. They were returned to the artist in the 1990s and acquired by Nordlings from the Leyman family in 2016. Fred Leyman was a Swedish artist, schooled at the renowned Valand Art Academy in Gothenburg during the 1950s. Leyman worked in a distinctly modernist style influenced by the international modernist movement, music, political ideas and the environment in which he lived. He is best known for his around 40 large-scale sculptures erected in public spaces in Gothenburg and other parts of southwestern Sweden. Fred Leyman lived on the island of Orust with his wife and children, in accordance with what he found to be ”a good life” close to nature on a small farm with sheep and horses. He was also deeply interested in music, particularly traditional folk music. Both the open, marine landscape of Orust and the rhytmical qualitites in music were vital forces in his artistry and in the development of his personal style. Leyman used iron and steel and sometimes wood and leather in his sculptures. These are characterized by sharp and billowing graphic lines and the use of negative space, seemingly always reaching somewhere. It is an expression striking the perfect balance between abstract and concrete. Leyman’s materials of choice were particularly suitable for large and sustainable...
