Artcurial, Scandinavian Design

Yesterday, at Artcurial, it was the first sale of Scandinavian design and the sales exceeded the overall estimate, with 70% of lots sold, and no less than three auction records (world for Otto Schulz; French for Finn Juhl and Borge Mogensen). Even the fact that Artcurial has always included in its sales of Scandinavian design pieces, it was the time to dedicate a specific sale to the Scandinavian Design to offer a complete vision of this design. The consultant Aldric Speer selected parts of the Nordic (Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway) where known that deserve to be discovered or rediscovered. So this first sale was marked by numerous unique pieces, rarely seen on the market, that illustrate all the trends of Scandinavian Design. The lucky buyers are both European, Australian and also International collectors.
