Swedish Wall Decorations

Nordic Birds of Prey Triptych — Svenska Fåglar Lithographs, Scandinavian Raptors 1929 A striking Scandinavian natural history triptych featuring three birds of prey from the distinguished series Svenska Fåglar Efter Naturen Och På Sten Ritade, published in 1929. These original lithographs embody the refined Nordic tradition of ornithological illustration, combining scientific precision with a calm decorative aesthetic highly suited to contemporary interiors. Created directly from nature and drawn on stone for lithographic printing, the plates reflect the exceptional craftsmanship characteristic of early twentieth-century Scandinavian natural history publishing. Each bird is rendered with careful anatomical observation and subtle coloration, set against minimalist backgrounds that emphasize form and elegance. This curated triptych has been assembled for visual balance, with a dominant central raptor acting as an anchor and flanked by complementary species that create a harmonious wall composition. The restrained palette and open composition allow the prints to integrate seamlessly into both modern and classic interiors. These prints are original impressions from the 1929 publication and are not later reproductions. The works are sold unframed; any framed images shown are for presentation inspiration only. Condition report: Original vintage prints with light age toning, minor edge wear and occasional faint spotting consistent with age. Strong impressions with clear detail and well-preserved colour. Framing tips: Dark walnut or matte black frames with generous ivory mats (approx. 6–8 cm) enhance the minimalist backgrounds and create a museum-quality presentation. Technique: Lithograph Maker: A.

Vintage handmade fully glazed Swedish midcentury modern wall platter / centrepiece with organic, floral decor depicting a gazelle with a direct gaze surrounded by vegetation in brown, ochre, green, white and bright pink colors on a striped dark blue background created with the experimental sgraffito technique that Tilgmans became famous for. Designed and handpainted in the late 1950s by Eivor Lang and manufactured by German/Finnish Paul Harald Tilgman in his workshop in the small town of Kortedala close to Gothenburg, Sweden. Milky white glaze on the base and sides with curved, muted green decor framing the image along the edge. Three holes for hanging - two in use with metal wire. Signed under base. A handpainted piece in beautiful condition. Paul Harald “Harry” Tilgmann was born in Dresden, Germany in 1904 and emigrated to Sweden during WWII where he started Tilgmans Keramik (= Ceramics) in 1948 in the small town of Utbynäs close to Gothenburg. Tilgman had 16 employees working for him and when he hired the Polish refugee Marian Zawadzki (1912-1978) as artistic director in 1953, Tilgman Keramik started experimenting with the distinct sgraffito technique. The sgraffito technique consists of carving fine lines into the background of a design through a light colored glaze down to a dark grey clay slip. This created a unique textured ground which has become a style associated with Tilgmans Keramik in particular. The decorative elements also appear to be outlined with a carved line and then hand painted with overglazes where birds, fish, flowers, butterflies and other animals were a common theme. This type of work was the most popular in midcentury Sweden alongside Tilgmans small animal figurines...
