From the Archive / A personal mark

An ordinary gesture.
A particular owner.

A grooming brush brings the travelling service down to the scale of a familiar daily gesture. This example in Livrustkammaren bears Crown Prince Gustaf’s crowned monogram and a Leuchars & Son London stamp.

The same identifying device appears on other components of the service. A small implement belongs to a larger personal world, connected through its marks and museum provenance.

A thought to keep

A note written.
A letter kept.

A writing instrument, a place for paper, a box for correspondence. Small objects give a lasting thought somewhere to begin—and somewhere to remain.

Explore the individual articles of writing, then the cases that gather them together.

Look closer

The detail
in the hand.

A crowned monogram catches the light. The engraved surface gives a familiar object a particular identity.

Look from the engraved mark to the surrounding metal and the edge of the cover. Surface, proportion and the way a piece opens are all part of its character.

An evening ritual

At the table.
After dinner.

The conversation continues. Historical smoking and spirits accessories belong to this more private part of the evening, their forms shaped by particular habits of hospitality.

An original’s intended use and its present condition deserve separate consideration.
