Founded in 1870 by rebel Polish
nobleman/coin dealer Henryk Bukowski, eager to flee oppressive Russian rule, Bukowskis have sold some high-profile collections down the years, ranging from that of King Charles XV in 1873 to the estate of Ingmar Bergman in 2009. During the 1920s, the firm enjoyed the sole rights to sell the etchings of Anders Zorn. Bukowskis are members of
International Auctioneers and have been headquartered in upmarket Arsenalsgatan (“all our millionaires pop in with their wives at lunchtime”) since 1882 – with branches in Helsinki, Gothenburg and Malmö, and representatives in London, New York, Brussels, Düsseldorf, Berlin, Oslo, Paris, Rome and Geneva. Classic, Modern and Contemporary Sales are held twice-yearly in Spring and Autumn. Online sales are conducted by Bukowskis Market, with showrooms in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö.

Stockholms Auktionswerk was
founded by the ‘Blue Baron’ Claes Rålamb in 1674, so claims to be the oldest auction house in the world. Past clients include King Karl XI (to sell his hunting rifles), King Gustav III (who bought a Rembrandt), and August Strindberg, who wanted books. The firm was owned by the city until privatisation in 1993, and moved from a graceless shopping mall to stylish new premises in Nybrogatan in 2002. It employs over 50 staff and sells across the auction spectrum, with offices in Gothenburg and Malmö, and a number of representatives abroad.

Weapons and armour specialists. continued on page 50 Another firm that began life as a
city auction house, in 1731, but with a turbulent history – going bust in 1996, before being acquired by Knut Knutson, a celebrity antiques presenter on Swedish TV.
Along with his wife Charlotte, a glass
and ceramics specialist, he still runs it, has expanded the firm’s dowdy side- street premises, and engineered quickfire development, ignoring Uppsala’s reputation as a sleepy university/ pharmaceuticals town (population 90,000) – and stressing its proximity to Årlanda International Airport and Stockholm (40 minutes away by high- speed train). “It doesn’t matter where you’re
situated as long as you’ve got the right objects to put in the sale,” says Knutson. His firm – with branches in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Lund and Helsinki – stage four middle-brow sales per year, running to 1500 lots, and twice-yearly upbeat sessions, in June and December, comprising Old Masters, 19th century paintings and sculpture, furniture, applied arts, folk art, Swedish pewter, silver and jewellery, modern art and Design. They also have thriving departments for Russian and Eastern European art.
