Arthur Salm Teak and Stainless Steel “Kalmar” Fruit Bowl Mid Century AS Sweden

Jon Nix — Sat, 13 Jul 2019 12:15:53 +0000

As much a piece of sculpture as it is a piece of tableware, this "Kalmar" fruit bowl made for Arthur Salm (AS Sweden) makes an elegant statement in stainless steel and teak about design simplicity and use of materials. Introduced in the late 1950s, the bowl consists of a main curve of steel met by teak side panels and feet with gentle curves and hinted reflections, whilst the curved edges of the wood contrast with the stark extents of metal. A superb piece of design which would grace any home, but particularly one with a Scandinavian influence.

Ours is in good condition, with some scratches to the stainless steel as to be expected from a functional item such as this, and with some minor markings to the wood panels. We should also note that the head of one of the screws underneath the feet which attach them to the main steel curve seems to have been damaged in the past. We have not attempted to remove the screw and it is unlikely that there would ever be a need to remove the feet, but the buyer should be aware of this minor defect. The maker's mark is present on the underside of the steel with some minor wear to it, but still visible.

The outer extents of the bowl measure approximately 26.5cm (10½ in.) lengthways, 25cm (10 in.) widthways, and 11.5cm (½ in.) from base to rim. The inner part, so to speak, measures approximately 22cm (8½ in.) by 19.5cm (7½ in.) by 7cm (2¾ in.)

Set of Four Pukeberg Smoked Glass Black Stemmed Dessert Bowls

A set of four stylish dessert bowls made by Pukeberg of Sweden, featuring a subtley gradated smoked glass body with black stems and a stripey textured deep base. Very retro elegance!

The bowls are in generally excellent condition with their stickers intact. One bowl has a minor rim bump but we feel that this doesn't detract from their overall appeal at all.

Each bowl measures 8 cm (3¼ in.) in height with a rim diameter of 9.5cm (3¾ in.) and a base diameter of 7cm (2¾ in.)

Vintage Framed Large “The Cock” Swedish Matchbox label

Jon Nix — Mon, 12 Feb 2018 18:13:39 +0000

For your delectation, we present a slightly unusual object: a large (14cm by 17cm / 5½ in by 6¾ in) vintage matchbox label mounted and displayed inside a repurposed striking matt black frame. The frame has a fixing for hanging via a picture nail.

We probably don't need to say too much more than that, except to add that the size of the frame is 25.5cm by 43cm (14 in by 17 in). If size is important to you, of course.
