Happy new year!!

I hope the new year will bring to everybody health, peace, fortune and some nice small painted antiques items to enjoy!

White tasteful Wedgwood

And antique also off course

Gustavian colors

Inside landscape

From my "barn" just some view of organized chaos.

Gustavian cabinet

Nice Swedish cabinet, gustavian, 18th. century, all original except the painting off course, it was washed, too bad, but it looks very nice like it is now.

For a hell of a soup

What a soup must have been served in this amazing piece of china!

Horse & more

Fruits of the past

This serving tray has one of the most beautiful painted fruits stillife i ever seen.
Enchanting nice.

Swefrench Stillife

Just from the depot a blended Swefrench stillife.

Gone France!

What a nice trip we had!

Eagles can´t fly

But they sure decorate and guard this beautiful troumeau.

My little beloved

No words.

Yes it´s Copenhagen!!

Yes it´s finally Copenhagen time!
Starting friday afternoon, 14.00 all week end at The Bella Center, Scandinavia biggest flee-market.

Welcome!!

Castle tower

I just waited to see the hair of the princess falling down curly from the window up.

Umbrian miracle

A miracle of beauty, the secondary small hill way between Orvieto and Todi, Just marvelous views, castles, farmers house etc.. It s all nice.

Shining Silver

It was darkened by varnish and smoke, now it s so shining in the sun that i have to use my sun glasses.
Nice.

Deliciuos Grey

Wonderful, wonderful secretary, gustavian period, from the very North of Sweden.
As heavy as beautiful!

Combined activities

An advantage by being antique dealer in Sweden, you buy great looking antique pieces and you can stop on the way picking up wonderful mushrooms.
Mhhh, imagine the risotto tonight!

Different colors

But same wonderful feeling when three different pieces and times meet each other with their joyful colors in the same ambient.

From Leksand with love

8 beautiful genuine fresh but antiques country-side Gustavian chairs. Seldom are those chairs exactly  the same, shaped from the same hand and being painted a little bit different each and every one rise defenitely the charming level.
Eight beauties...

Yes Markaryd we are coming!

Don´t forget to visit the years last open place antique market. From this coming Saturday noon until Sunday afternoon do not hesitate to pass by!

P.S. i m coming too

Majestic

Little Halmstad has done it again. After world biggest golf tournament for women for 2 years ago (Solheim Cup), now world biggest friendly tall ship competition, with some of the world most astonishing ships sailing around our water. Amazing for a city with a county population of 75000 person!

Sorry about the delay

Been super busy with the Helsingborg Show and now few days at the beach with a beautiful Swedish summer and my beloved family.

Swedish colors

Beautiful Nordic atmosphere could be the middle of the 18th century, it is today.

I ve seen it before

I ve seen trying to destroy fantastic mirrors many times, this is one of the worse. This charming quite big, very nice 18th. century  mirror is on his way to get decent again after 100 years of humiliation.
I m getting you back my friend!

All the world at my feet

About all the corners of the globe, from South America to Asia trough Spain, France etc..
Nice maps dated 1835 from Leipzig. Choose a country!

Best drawers ever!

Seldom with numbers and this color, the photo is not enough good to explain their beauty.
Nice surpries when i started to scrape the ugly brown color over it!

Colorful table

Blue and kind of salmon/pink legs, scraped to the original. A nice table.

The blue and the girl

All blue, all adorable

Cheers for all the good tasters

Even a non drinking person will get exited to think to a lemonade in this beautiful Empire carafe in those glasses from the same time!

Hard life

20 hours a day i sleep, 3 i eat, 1 i think about what to do next.
My name is Hobbe and i feeeeel good!

Organized Chaos

At least for me, may be you will think is a mess. It s a personal way to see things, i ll accept different opinions. But i love it!

1, 2 and 5 liters

This beautiful  original blue painted measurments boxes have all the government stamps impress in their wooden sides, dates, crowns all the marks that pedantically born swedish state needed for his own eager of burocracy. Well to decrease flour fraud also i have to say.

Mini 1700 chest for fine taste

Simply adorable, a little 18th. century chest of drawers in original painted pine.

Apple in the morning

Green and Grey

What a great combination, green fields and grey painted gustavian chairs!

Vincent would love it!

Though the wrong French landscape and quite few km. of distance from his last resort, he would have loved this Iris court. Isure did.

Majestic Sunset

No word to describe this fantastic building in the sunset. It  makes you become a believer even if you are outside of it.

Happy Easter holiday!

Glad Påsk to you all!

Forms, all kind of forms

Probably Höganes, in gypsum, nice different models, i bought them all today, about 30 pair of splendid forms. They were used for pottery making or earthenware.
Great interior decoration.
Quantity matters!

It´s a stool daddy, not a Parmiggiano!

That´s what my little 3 years old daughter said when she saw this cheese monster on the floor!
They are adorable with their true way to say things, in their own little world. She loves Parmiggiano Reggiano, but this hole form looks different that the small pieces she eats.

Anybody interested?

Color Matter

Even when secondary, a nice turn of the century (18/1900) grey color can be really charming. This is nice.

Almost the same

I have just "scraped" a tilt top table that looks like the brother of a popular table i had in the recent past.
I like very much this kind of tables, close to a nice wall they are like a standing useful sculpture.

Early spring grill

Fantastic grill and wine night in Dalarna at wonderful friends home. This enchanted region is even more enchanted by his friendly and generous habitant. Thank you Mr. & Mrs. C. for a wonderful evening!

Waves from the past

Actually a wave from the middle of the 18th. century, or as we call it in Sweden "the pie border".

Not so tasty but very good looking drop-leaf table.

It´s so close!!

It´s so close to springtime, usually it explode any day buy this period. Pleeeeeeeease let there be spring!!!

Worth a Brösarp

Fantastic sofa from Dalarna, color amazing, condition excellent. Sold, but i still think about it.

Now we know Paul Delvaux

This 19th. century engraving, by Engelmann Gottfried, are taken from fresco paintings of the master Raphael.
They are excuisite similar to the 20th. century Belgian master Paul Delvaux.
So now we know Paul Delvaux!

P.S. I do love his art!

Soon ready

Amazing early baroque cabinet with beautiful original painting, big doors, nice inside, lists, my God is all so nice!! I long to have it ready soon

The swedish model

It´s like a Volvo a classic of the Swedish production, but that is all we can use to compare those items.
This one is just a little bit smoother in his forms than the 4 wheeled. Just like my little sarcasm.
