Leica IIIF, 'Swedish Army', 1956.⁠ ⁠ Camera no. 822928 is part of the legendary series of 100 Leica IIIF in black lacquer, specially made for the Swedish Army in 1956. Serial numbers 822901—823000 were recorded in Leica's archives with the listing “matt. schwarz”. The cameras were delivered via Brandt AB in Stockholm to Försvarets Materielverk and were designed to withstand arctic conditions — in Leitz terminology they were called “Kältefest”.⁠ ⁠ The fact that such a rare model has been preserved with accessories and documented provenance from the Swedish Armed Forces makes No. 822928 one of the most significant known copies of the Leica IIIF “Swedish Army”. It is a camera developed during the Cold War for soldiers in snow and cold, but is today a collector's item of international rank.⁠ ⁠ Unlike the regular, chromed IIIF models, the Swedish Army variant appears as strictly military. The matte black surface eliminated reflections, and the specially lubricated bearings allowed the shutter to work even in extreme cold. The provenance is unbroken: this camera has belonged to the Swedish Defence Materielverk since its delivery in 1956, which means that it had only one owner before it has now left the Agency's stock.⁠ ⁠ Explore this rare auction through the link in our bio. ⁠ ⁠ #leica #auctionet

Estrid Ericson, 1894–1981.⁠ In celebration of what would have been Estrid’s 131st birthday this week, we've gathered a special collection of her unique pewter creations from past auctions. ⁠ At the age of 30, Estrid Ericson founded Firma Svenskt Tenn. It was 1924, and with a clear vision she set out to make contemporary pewter art accessible to a wider audience. From the very beginning, the company became a vibrant meeting place for creativity, shaped by Ericson’s remarkable eye for talent and her ability to bring together some of the most promising designers of her time.⁠ ⁠ Under her leadership, Svenskt Tenn soon gained renown for its exclusive objects and its unmistakable atmosphere. Ericson was not only an entrepreneur but also a visionary scenographer. She possessed an extraordinary gift for arranging interiors, creating rooms that were alive with character, beauty, and unexpected harmony.⁠ ⁠ “We must not forget to cherish freedom within our homes, to not abstain from pieces just because they could jeopardise our aesthetic formalism. It is never a fabricated colour chart that gives a home its personality, but it is all the things one collects through life. All the things we once loved, alongside all the things we love today. — our homes are never completed, during our entire lives, we continue to build upon them.”⁠ ⁠ — Estrid Ericsons in “The Catechism of Interior design “, 1939.⁠ ⁠ See more of our previous auctions and subscribe to get notified about new objects by Estrid Ericson. ⁠ ⁠ #estridericson #firmasvenskttenn #auctionet
