About the Item

This is an antique hand-colored print depicting the manor known as Schelenora, showing the building's facade and garden. The engraving is part of the collection "Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna" ("Ancient and Modern Sweden") by Erik Dahlbergh, a monumental work illustrating the grandeur of Sweden during its period as a great power. Sköldnora Manor, previously known as Skällnora, is located in Fresta parish, Upplands Väsby municipality, Stockholm County, on the eastern shore of Lake Norrviken. The estate dates back to 1276 and has a rich history including ownership by Birger Persson, the father of Saint Bridget, in 1296. The original main building depicted in "Suecia antiqua et hodierna" was demolished in 1718. The current main building, completed in 1741, showcases Rococo architecture designed by Carl Hårleman. Today, the manor is a designated building monument and is owned by financier Anders Lettström. Engravings for this collection were made by various artists, often including French and Dutch engravers who specialized in detailed plates. The print captures the architectural and landscaping style of the period, with figures in period attire adding life to the scene. The manor is presented with a detailed garden, emphasizing the grandeur and elegance of Swedish noble estates in the 17th century. More about the work it is from: The engraving is from the "Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna," a large work that includes engravings of various Swedish castles, towns, and other significant buildings from the 17th century. The coat of arms included in the image indicates that it is part of a noble or royal depiction. The "Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna" was overseen by Erik Dahlbergh, and many of the engravings were produced by notable engravers of the time, including Willem Swidde and Jan van den Aveelen, among others. The detailed work and style are consistent with the engravings found in Dahlbergh's collection, which often included the crests or coats of arms of the nobility associated with the castles or regions depicted.
