Swedish Wall Decorations

Elegant and beautifully crafted, this superb example of Swedish Grace artisanry was made by the famed Svenskt Tenn workshop in Sweden, which produced a wide range of artisan-designed and made sculptures and home goods, often in pewter, as here. Svenskt Tenn was founded in 1924 by Estrid Ericson, who brought together an astounding array of artists such as Josef Frank and Anna Petrus, many now world-renowned, to create a wide range of objects. Ericson herself was known for creating works in pewter with patterns or designs incised in the metal, so this piece is attributed to her artistry. Here she depicts Salome, holding the head of John the Baptist...

1929 Swedish Bird Prints Pair – Natural History Illustration Set, Designer Wall Art DESCRIPTION: A refined and highly decorative pair of original Scandinavian natural history bird prints published in Sweden in 1929, presenting the brambling (Fringilla montifringilla) in both winter and summer plumage. These elegant ornithological plates combine scientific precision with a modernist sense of composition, making them particularly attractive for interior designers and collectors seeking calm, balanced wall compositions. The prints depict the brambling — also known as the mountain finch — a migratory finch species celebrated for its distinctive orange breast and striking wing pattern. The artist presents both seasonal variations, creating a natural visual dialogue between the two plates. Latin nomenclature appears beneath each illustration, reflecting the scientific tradition of early 20th-century European natural history publishing. Executed as original color-printed plates (chromolithographic or high-quality color process printing typical of Scandinavian natural history publications of the period), these works demonstrate the refined printing techniques of the era. The subtle tonal gradations, soft cream paper tone, and precise line work produce an elegant aesthetic that sits comfortably between scientific illustration and decorative art. Unlike later reproductions, these are authentic original prints from the year of publication (1929), not modern reproductions or facsimiles. Their generous margins and minimalist compositions make them particularly suitable for contemporary interiors, gallery walls, or paired framing arrangements where negative space enhances the visual impact. The prints are sold unframed. Any images showing framing or interior styling are for presentation and impression purposes only. --- CONDITION REPORT: Good vintage condition consistent with age. Light overall toning and minor handling marks to margins; occasional small spots typical of paper from the period. Colors remain fresh and clear. No major damage observed. --- TIPS FOR FRAMING: Best presented as a balanced pair with generous ivory or warm off-white matting. A dark walnut or natural oak frame enhances contrast and suits both modern and classic interiors. Float mounting or wide margins emphasize the minimalist Scandinavian aesthetic. --- KEYWORDS: antique bird print, Scandinavian natural history, Swedish ornithology, vintage bird illustration, brambling, mountain finch, Fringilla montifringilla, natural history art, 1920s print, Nordic design, minimalist wall art, designer wall decor, vintage scientific illustration, chromolithograph bird...

Printed in stunning stone lithography, this extremely rare poster was designed by prolific poster artist Eric Rohman for the original Swedish release of the action-packed 1926 American silent comedy 'For Heaven's Sake,' starring Harold Lloyd - one of the biggest stars of the silent era. After several years at Pathé, Lloyd made his debut at Paramount with this delightful slapstick classic, in which his trademark go-getting 'glasses' character appears as Uptown Boy J. Harold Manners, a millionaire playboy who falls for a Downtown Girl. With a dazzling finale featuring a double-decker bus careering through the city streets, the comedy of thrills was one of Lloyd's most successful films and the 12th highest grossing film of the silent era. Rohman's whimsical lunar poster design was inspired by a charming scene in which Harold woos his Downtown Girl (Jobyna Ralston) by the romantic light of a crescent moon - which is then revealed to be part of a neon sign for Crescent Laundry! Lushly printed in lapis blue, black and a contrasting orange, the enchanting Art Deco style artwork pictures the loved up...
