Swedish Design in Johannesburg…
Jeremy Stephen Antiques will show this Gunnar Nylund Hedgehog vase dating from the 1940s. Made at the Rorstrand pottery in Sweden this was part of the Chamotte stoneware series with yellow glaze.
Gunnar Nylund was a Danish-Finnish painter, designer and sculptor. His parents were the well-known Finnish sculptor Felix Nylund and the Danish born artist Fernanda Jacobson-Nylund. In 1925, Nylund began architectural studies in Copenhagen. However, he soon left to begin work at Bing & Gröndahl’s porcelain factory. In 1929, he quit B&G to start his own ceramic studio, in Saxbo, along with chemist Nathalie Krebs. Nylund was responsible for shaping the goods while Krebs did the glazing and firing. After an exhibition in Stockholm, Nylund was offered the position as Artistic Director at Rörstrand. At Rörstrand, he received great support for his modern ideas and made his most important contributions as an artist. He was employed at Rörstrand for most of the early 1930’s and remained until the mid 1950’s. Nylund is regarded as one of the most important ceramists of the 20th century.

World Class…
Riaan Bolt Antiques presents this exceptional bronze “Seated Woman” on a granite base by Fanie Eloff (SA 1885–1947) which is signed and stamped with the Valsuani foundry mark.
Stephanus Johannes Paulus “Fanie” Eloff (1885–1947) was a pioneering South African impressionist sculptor and the grandson of President Paul Kruger. Originally sent to Europe to study mining engineering, Eloff was captivated by the Parisian art scene and shifted his focus to sculpture under the profound influence of Auguste Rodin. He achieved international acclaim at the 1912 Paris Salon and earned an honourable mention at the 1924 Paris Summer Olympics for his bronze masterpiece, The Boxer. Blessed with a private income that freed him from commercial pressures, Eloff focused on artistic perfection, frequently using dancers and athletes as models to masterfully capture fluid motion, physical tension, and emotional spontaneity in bronze and marble. Today, his most iconic monumental work, The Discus Thrower, stands at the entrance of the Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria. His broader body of work is preserved internationally and across major South African public collections, including the Pretoria Art Museum, the University of Pretoria, the Iziko South African National Gallery in Cape Town, the Ditsong National Museum of Cultural History, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
