Hovedkontoret er flyttet til Sundkrogsgade i København En lang række af Bruun Rasmussens funktioner er blevet samlet i Københavns Nordhavn. For virksomhedens kunder betyder det, at kontakten til blandt andet kundeservice og bogholderi foregår fra Sundkrogsgade 30. Den primære vurderings- og indleveringsfunktion er ligeledes flyttet fra Bredgade 33 til henholdsvis Sundkrogsgade 30 og Baltikavej 10. Det medfører, at vurdering og indlevering af effekter til både de traditionelle auktioner og net-auktionerne nu hovedsagligt finder sted i disse to afdelinger, der ligger tæt på offentlig transport og heldigvis har langt bedre parkeringsforhold end det gamle auktionshus i Bredgade. I Sundkrogsgade gælder det vurdering og indlevering af både ældre og moderne malerier, antikviteter, møbler, design, smykker, kunstindustri og dekorationer. Bruun Rasmussen udvider på Baltikavej i København Bruun Rasmussen har netop udvidet faciliteterne i Københavns Nordhavn. Det eksisterende domicil i Utzons visionære byggeri i Sundkrogsgade 30 er blevet suppleret med yderligere 4000 kvadratmeter nye lokaler på Baltikavej 10, der ligger i umiddelbar nærhed. Den store blå bygning huser Bruun Rasmussens afdelinger for samlerobjekter: bøger og manuskripter; frimærker, posthistorie og postkort; mønter, medailler og pengesedler og vin samt et lager. På Baltikavej vil auktionshusets sagkyndige dagligt stå klar med uforpligtende vurderinger af samlerobjekter, ligesom indlevering af disse foregår her. Det gamle auktionshus i Bredgade I den gamle, fredede bygning fra 1794 i Bredgade 33 har Bruun Rasmussen i over 60 år afholdt traditionelle auktioner, hvor der gennem tiden er blevet formidlet et utal af kunstgenstande. Således forbliver det! Husets 10-12 årlige traditionelle auktioner vil fortsat blive afviklet fra auktionssalen i Bredgade. I begrænset omfang vil der på samme adresse stadig være mulighed for vurdering og indlevering af både ældre og moderne malerier, antikviteter, møbler, design, smykker, kunstindustri og dekorationer. Nyt jysk hovedsæde på Søren Frichs Vej i Århus Bruun Rasmussen har desuden flyttet sit jyske hovedsæde til Århus fra herregården Pedersholm i Vejle. Pedersholm vil pr. 1. april blive anvendt til andet formål. I Århus danner de store moderne lokaler på Søren Frichs Vej 34D nu ramme om virksomhedens auktioner i Jylland, der fremover kun benytter internettet som salgskanal. Den smukke bygning, der tidligere har huset Aarhus Maskinfabrik, ligger i en afstand af kun to km fra Århus centrum, ARoS og motorvejen. I det nye auktionshus bliver man hver uge mødt af nye malerier, møbelklassikere, designerlamper, antikviteter og smykker, og der er dagligt åbent for vurdering, indlevering og eftersyn. De effekter, der skønnes bedre solgt på en traditionel auktion, vil blive fragtet til København og solgt fra auktionssalen i Bredgade. Bruun Rasmussen Properties Bruun Rasmussen Properties er ligeledes flyttet fra Bredgade til Sundkrogsgade 30 i Københavns Nordhavn. Her udbydes eksklusive liebhaverboliger, villaer og lyst- og landejendomme i Danmark og udlandet. Formidlingen af ejendomme er en naturlig forlængelse af husets virke med salg af kunst og indbo. Auktionshuset sikrer en enestående eksponering til den rette kreds af både danske og internationale købere. Nye regler for afhentning Bruun Rasmussen har indført nye regler for afhentning af auktionsvarer. Det betyder, at effekter købt på auktion 801 skal være betalt og afhentet i Bredgade 33 senest mandag den 25. maj. I modsat fald bliver de transporteret til Bruun Rasmussens lager på Baltikavej 10 i Københavns Nordhavn for købers regning og risiko. Transporten koster 100 kr. pr. effekt inkl. moms, og opbevaringen koster 100 kr. pr. effekt pr. påbegyndt uge inkl. moms. Har De ikke mulighed for afhentning inden for dette tidsrum, kan De bestille transport eller forsendelse via hjemmesiden, dog ligeledes senest mandag den 25. maj. Ændring af købersalær Pr. 1. januar har Bruun Rasmussen ændret købersalæret til 24% (ekskl. moms). Salærændringen gælder alle køb på husets auktioner, både på de traditionelle auktioner og på net-auktionerne. Der vil fortsat ikke blive beregnet hammerslagsgebyr. Se købskonditionerne på side 514.

The main office has moved to Sundkrogsgade in Copenhagen Furthermore, many of the auction house s functions have been concentrated in Copenhagen s Nordhavn. For the company s customers, this means that e.g. customer service and the bookkeeping department will be located at Sundkrogsgade 30. Likewise, the primary valuation and consignment function has been moved from Bredgade 33 to Sundkrogsgade 30 and Baltikavej 10. This means that valuation and consignment of items for traditional as well as online auctions will now chiefly be handled in these two branches both of which are conveniently located in relation to public transportation and luckily also have much better parking facilities than the old auction house in Bredgade. Sundkrogsgade will be the setting of valuation and consignment of both older and modern paintings, antiques, furniture, design, jewellery and decorative art. Bruun Rasmussen expands at Baltikavej in Copenhagen At Bruun Rasmussen we have recently expanded our facilities in Copenhagen s Nordhavn. The existing domicile in Utzon s visionary edifice at Sundkrogsgade 30 has been supplemented with an additional 4.000 square metres of new spaces at Baltikavej 10 close by. The big blue building houses Bruun Rasmussen s departments of collectibles: Books and manuscripts; Stamps, postal history and postcards; Coins, medals and bank notes as well as Wine and a storage facility. At Baltikavej, the auction house s experts will be ready to assist with non-binding valuations of collectibles. Consignment of such items will also take place here. The old auction house in Bredgade In the old listed building from 1794 in Bredgade 33, Bruun Rasmussen has conducted traditional auctions of countless art objects for more than sixty years. And we will continue to do so! The 10-12 traditional auctions conducted annually will continue to be held in the auction hall in Bredgade 33. To a limited extent it will still be possible to have both older and modern paintings, antiques, furniture, design, jewellery and decorative art valuated and consigned at the same address. New Jutland head office at Søren Frichs Vej in Aarhus Bruun Rasmussen has also relocated its Jutland head office to Aarhus from Pedersholm Manor in Vejle. As of April 1st, therefore, Pedersholm Manor will be used for something else. In Aarhus, the two large, modern premises at Søren Frichs Vej 34D now house Bruun Rasmussen s auctions in Jutland, henceforth conducted exclusively online. The beautiful building, formerly the location of Aarhus Machine Works, is located a mere 2 kilometres from Aarhus city centre, ARoS and the motor road. Every week this new auction house will present new paintings, furniture classics, designer lamps, antiques and jewellery, and it will be open daily for valuation, consignment and preview. Items deemed better suited for a traditional auction will be transported to Copenhagen and sold from the auction hall in Bredgade. Bruun Rasmussen Properties Bruun Rasmussen Properties has also been moved from Bredgade to Sundkrogsgade 30 in Copenhagen s Nordhavn. Here we present choice properties, villas and country houses in Denmark and abroad. Real estate is a natural extension of Bruun Rasmussen s sale of art and furniture. The auction house ensures a select exposure for the right circle of Danish and international clients. New rules for claiming of items Bruun Rasmussen has introduced new rules for claiming of auction items. Items bought at Action 801 must be paid and claimed in Bredgade 33 by Monday, May 25th at the latest. Otherwise, they will be moved to Bruun Rasmussen s storage facility at Baltikavej 10 in Copenhagen s Nordhavn at the buyer s expense and risk. This transportation will cost DKK 100 per item VAT included, and storage will cost DKK 100 per item per week VAT included. If it is impossible for you to claim your items within this period of time, you can arrange transportation or mailing by way of our website. Please note that this must also be done before Monday, May 25th. Changes in the buyer s premium As of January 1st Bruun Rasmussen has changed the buyer s premium to 24 percent (VAT excluded). This change applies for all purchases at Bruun Rasmussen s auctions, whether traditional or online. As before, no hammer price fees will be added. You will find the conditions of purchase at 516.

Velkommen til forårets internationale auktion over ældre malerier og antikviteter Den danske guldalderkunst er fint repræsenteret med både landskaber, mariner og portrætter. Fremhæves skal Christen Købkes portræt af fætteren, bagermester P. Ryder, i afslappet positur og med cigarillo i hånden. En anden guldalderperle finder man med Wilhelm Marstrand, der har foreviget udsigten fra et vindue i C.W. Eckersbergs atelier på Charlottenborg. Blandt auktionens store udvalg af andre malerier lokker P.S. Krøyer med to fine lyseblå måneskinsbilleder fra Skagen. Man kan også lade sig friste af et forarbejde til hans berømte maleri af Børsens mænd fra 1895, som stadig kan ses i den imponerende bygning. I den russiske sektion optræder et charmerende saltkar og senempire-spejl, der begge har været i Zar Alexander III og Kejserinde Dagmars eje, samt Boris Mikhailovich Kustodievs snedækkede bylandskab fra revolutionsåret og en fin samling af russiske drikkekar i sølv og emalje en såkaldt kovsh. Et af auktionens højdepunkter er den folkekære kunstner Bjørn Wiinblads private samling fra Det blå hus af blådekoreret kinesisk porcelæn og europæisk fajance. Han blev internationalt anerkendt for sine dekorative arbejder med det særegne fabulerende udtryk. Mere upåagtet er det, at han livet igennem var en lidenskabelig samler. Fra samlingen udbydes bl.a. et sjældent Yongzheng-fad og to store Kangxi-skåle. Læs mere om Wiinblads samling side 514. Smykkeauktionen afholdes denne gang mandag den 4. maj kl. 4 om eftermiddagen for at tilfredsstille et ønske fra vores kunder. Den indeholder denne gang sjældne farvede ædelstene, f.eks. en diamanthalskæde med South Sea kulturperler og en ubehandlet Burma safir på 15.00 ct. samt en platinring med en intens orange safir på over 10.00 ct. Blandt auktionens diamantsmykker markerer tre diamantstjerner sig særligt alle stammer fra en diamanttiara fra 1930 erne. På møbelsiden står et ovalt mahognibord, tilskrevet David Roentgen, centralt. Det var ikke uden grund, at Frederik den Store af Preussen, Marie Antoinette og Katharina den Store beundrede hans excellente håndværk, og han fremstod da også om nogen som fyrsternes møbelsnedker og modtog titlen Ébéniste-mécanicien du Roi et de la Reine af Ludvig XVI af Frankrig og blev senere udnævnt til hofmøbelsnedker for Frederik Wilhelm II af Preussen.
Welcome to the international auction of fine art and antiques in the spring Danish Golden Age art is well represented with landscapes, marines and portraits. Christen Købke s portrait of his cousin, master baker P. Ryder, in relaxed posture and with a cigarillo in his hand, merits special attention. Another Golden Age gem is Wilhelm Marstrand s view from a window in C.W. Eckersberg s studio at Charlottenborg. The auction s comprehensive selection of paintings includes two fine light-blue moonlight pictures from Skagen by P.S. Krøyer. The auction also tempts with a sketch for Krøyer s famous painting of the Gentlemen of the Stock Exchange from 1895 which is still located in the impressive building. In the Russian section, we find a charming salt-cellar and a late Empire mirror, both former possessions of Tsar Alexander III and Empress Dagmar in addition to Boris Mikhailovich Kustodiev s snow-clad cityscape from the year of the revolution and a fine collection of Russian drinking vessels in silver and enamel a so-called kovsh. One of the highlights of the auction is the popular artist Bjørn Wiinblad s private collection from the The Blue House of blue-decorated Chinese porcelain and European faience. He was internationally renowned for his decorative works with their distinctive imaginative expression. It is less wellknown that he was a passionate collector his whole life. From his collection, we present e.g. a rare Yongzheng dish and two large Kangxi bowls. Read more about the Wiinblad collection page 516. This time, the jewellery auction is held Monday, May 4th at 4.00 pm in order to accommodate a request from our customers. It features rare coloured gems, e.g. a diamond necklace with South Sea cultured pearls and an untreated Burma sapphire at 15.00 ct. in addition to a platinum ring with an intense orange sapphire at more than 10.00 ct. Among the diamond jewellery, three diamond stars are particularly noteworthy they all derive from a diamond tiara from the 1930 s. In the furniture section an oval mahogany table, ascribed to David Roentgen, assumes a crucial position. It is no coincidence that Frederic the Great, Marie Antoinette and Catherine the Great were all admirers of his excellent craftsmanship. He ranked as the quintessential cabinet-maker for the princes of Europe, and Louis XVI of France gave him the title of Ébéniste-mécanicien du Roi et de la Reine, just as Frederic William II of Prussia later appointed him royal cabinetmaker.

Recognized for his talent, he received a scholarship to travel to Germany and France in order to improve his skills. He became a popular portrait painter, and later founded "Em. Bärentzen & Co.s litografiske Institut (Lithographic Institute), the leading institute in the 19th century. He was known for his conversation pieces and for his depictions of daily life in Copenhagen, a popular genre at that time. In 1830 Wilhelm Bendz painted a similar interior: "Det waagepetersenske Familiebillede", the Family Waage Petersen, today at Statens Museum for Kunst (The Danish National Gallery).

8 8 Jørgen Sonne b. Birkerød 1801, d. Copenhagen 1890 "En Valplads Morgenen efter et slag". Soldiers on the battlefield the morning after a battle. Signed and dated J. Sonne 1835. Oil on canvas. 60 x 81 cm. Thorvaldsens Museum, A Catalogue Raisonné of the Works of Jørgen Sonne S 44. Repetition of no. 35 in the Catalogue Raisonné. That one dated Roma 1832 and exhibited at Charlottenborg in 1833. The subject was popular and was repeated by Sonne four times. Two versions are today owned by the Thorvaldsens Museum, dated 1833 (no. 36 in the Catalogue Raisonné) and Den Hirschsprungske Samling dated 1875 (no. 200 in the Catalogue Raisonné). Hans Christian Andersen saw one version owned by Bertel Thorvaldsen in an exhibition in Rome in 1834, and he described it as: "Et smukt Bataillestykke", (A beautiful battlefield). The scene that takes place during the Napoleonic wars depicts a Bavarian bivouac in the morning after the battle with wounded soldiers. In Sonne's later war paintings, one finds the same mood as in this early work. He prefers to depict the quiet periods of reflection after the battle rather than the actual battle scene.

18 Wilhelm Marstrand b. Copenhagen 1810, d.s.p. 1873 View through a window in the study of C. W. Eckersberg at Charlottenborg. C. 1829. Unsigned. Oil on canvas. 31 x 23 cm. Provenance: Johannes Thiele married to the writer Anna Elisabeth Dorothea Thiele née Wedell-Wedellsborg to Gjorslev. The grandparents of the claimant. "View through a window" is one of the earliest paintings known by the hand of Marstrand. When Marstrand was 15 years old, he was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts. C. W. Eckersberg, his first professor, writes in his diary entry of August 7th 1826: Wilhelm Marstrand has started his studies. The young future painters had lessons in Eckersberg's private study at Charlottenborg. Gitte Valentiner, "Wilhelm Marstrand. Scenebilleder" mentions p. 12 ff.: "Udsigt fra Eckersbergs atelier mod Bredgade" var at finde på et af Marstrands tidligste malerier: Charlottenborgs portner i sin røde kjole, drenge legende i bygningens skygge, en gruppe mænd i samtale ved hjørnet, og i sollyset på torvet en mor med sin dreng og en hund i spring foran en vogn". View of Bredgade from the study of Eckersberg was one of the first paintings by Marstrand: The caretaker in a red dress, the boys playing in the shadow of the building, several men speaking in one corner; in the sunshine a mother and child, and a dog jumping in front of a carriage. Gitte Valentiner continues: "Hensigten var ganske enkelt at øve de unge mennesker i perspektivet, et emne der stod lærerens hjerte nær". The intention was to practice the young apprentices in "The Perspective" a topic that was very dear to Eckersberg. At ABR auction 673, 2000 no. 329 a painting with a similar subject by Christen Købke dated 1829 was sold for 2.500.000 Dkr. to Ny Carlsberg Fondet, today it resides at the Glyptoteket. The painters and very good friends, Marstrand and Købke, must have been working at the same view at the same time because many details can be recognized in both their paintings.

Provenance: C. E. Count Rewentlow, Chamberlain. The present City Hall in Copenhagen was built between 1893-1905. A retrospective exhibition of Danish art was held during the building's construction, in 1901, under the leadership of the painters Karl Madsen, Theodor Philipsen and Kristian Zahrtmann. The exhibition was a great success, and for some of the surplus, Krøyer was asked to paint a group portrait of the leading men behind the construction of the City Hall: The architects Martin Nyrop, Emil Jørgensen and the Chairman of the Bricklayers Heinrich Krone. That painting is still today in the City Hall's library. The present painting is a finished study. DKK 200.000-300.000 / 27.000-40.000 54 BRUUN RASMUSSEN BREDGADE AUCTION 801
