Probably the most complete book ever produced on the Folk Painting of Dalarna starting with decorative painting on furniture encouraged by the royal family as this time of history during the 1770’s was a very difficult time to survive on small farms in the heartland of Sweden. These difficult times forced the average farmer to seek revenue outside of their immediate area, so with the encouragement of the royal family they started painting furniture for the affluent part of the population including the royal family. A comprehensive historical essay on Dalapainting in interiors and as art and where these interiors are found. The subject matter of Dalapainting varies from figurative to landscapes to the depiction of life in the late 18th century and later. A following chapter shows the Dalapainting after 1870, the colors used and a comprehensive list of biographies of the painters in many parts of dalarna from Mora, Falun Enviken, Malung, Lima, Transtrand and more. A very important book for any one, who has any interest in Dalapainting; richly illustrated with beautiful full page illustrations of furniture painting, wall and ceiling painting in detail including the tools to make them.

Colorful book on young Danish glass artist Steffen Dam. His pieces are beautifully crafted and very unique. He finds great inspiration in nature: Like puddles of water, the stars in the night, ocean waves, fish and insects. He is originally a toolmaker, and is a master of the technicalities of this art like an engineer. Any collector of fine contemporary glass should consider his art pieces.

Since the founding of Koldinghus museum in 1890, exquisite Danish silver has been widely collected, with great emphasis on silver originating from the Kolding area. In the last 10 years or more, the museum has contributed more in terms of research and exhibitions in relation to Danish silver than any other Danish museum. No other institution amongst Danish museums has attempted, through research and exhibitions, to present a unified view of the history of Danish silver. Includes among many silversmiths Georg Jensen, Thorvald Bindesbøll, Mogens Ballin, Svend Hammershøi, Johan Rohde, Svend Weihrauch, Henning Koppel, Karl Gustav Hansen, Allan Scharff and Lasse Bæhring.
