Dette efterår står som noget særligt i Bruun Rasmussens historie. Huset fylder 60 år, og det markeres med en lang række jubilæumsauktioner. Katalogerne, der indeholder antikviteter, kunsthåndværk, smykker og ure, viser med al tydelighed, at udvalget er stort og kvaliteten høj på auktionen den 20. 28. november. To antikke marmorsøjler fra hellenistisk periode i det 3. 1. årh. f.kr. (kat. nr. 1891) og en romersk marmortorso af en ung mand fra det 1. 2. årh. e.kr. (Trésor, kat. nr. 184) med proveniens fra professorerne og billedhuggerne J.A. Jerichau og E.Utzon-Frank markerer starten på auktionens tidslinje. Særlig stærkt på denne auktion står de danske møbelsnedkere fra 17- og 1800-tallet. Som fine eksempler på den nordeuropæiske rokoko ses hofsnedker Mathias Ortmanns kommode, der har været i minister Viggo Starckes eje (kat. nr. 1194), samt et par kommoder (Trésor, kat. nr. 151). To konsoller, der tidligere har stået på Lilliendal Gods, udgør en kontrast hertil. De er antagelig lavet af professor og hofbygmester C.F. Harsdorff, der udbredte de enkle og ny-klassicistiske idealer i Danmark og dermed kom med et modspil til den mere pyntede rokokostil (Trésor, kat. nr. 178). Arkitekten Theophilus Hansen, der ellers mest er kendt for sin arkitektur, er repræsenteret med en kunstnerarmstol fra ca. 1840. Stolen er kendt fra en tegning på Kunstindustrimuseet og stammer antagelig fra familien Scavenius på Klintholm Gods, der i perioden 1837-1840 netop fik indrettet værelser af hans læremester fra Kunstakademiet, C.F. Hetsch (Trésor, kat. nr. 128). Det er alt sammen ældre dansk møbelkunst, når det er bedst! Et af auktionens højdepunkter, et smukt skrivebord, stammer imidlertid fra en udenlandsk møbelsnedkers hånd, nemlig Paul Sormani, der var den foretrukne ebenist hos Napoleon III s stilbevidste hustru, kejserinde Eugenie, som yndede at indrette sit hjem i de gamle stilarter Louis XV og Louis XVI. Ofte overgik Sormanis reproduktioner originalerne i kvalitet og udførelse, og derfor er hans møbler i dag blandt de mest eftertragtede i 1700-talsstil overhovedet (Trésor, kat. nr. 164). Der findes også mange andre eksempler på prægtige stilkopier på auktionen. Der bydes desuden på en række fajancer fra den anerkendte antikvitetsforretning Rasmussen og Bielenberg i Berlin. Disse effekter blev bragt i sikkerhed, før forretningen blev bombet i 1945 (f.eks. kat. nr. 2102). Den legendariske grundlægger af Nordisk Film, generaldirektør Ole Olsen, var en velkendt kunde i denne forretning. Med et sjældent antikt Heriz-tæppe tager vi turen fra Europa til Orienten. Tæppet blev knyttet som gave til Shahen i anden halvdel af 1800-tallet og indeholder en lang ode til Persiens hersker med disse storslåede ord som indledning: Kongelige Højhed, unge konge, verdens ejer, modige konge, landets sol (...) (Trésor, kat. nr. 154). Smykker fra boet efter direktør Oscar Pettersson og frue indleder smykkeauktionen den 26. november (kat. nr. 1526-1535), der blandt meget andet indeholder en række smykker fra internationalt anerkendte smykkehuse, f.eks. en art déco Cartier diamantbroche fra de brølende 1920 eres London (kat. nr. 1679). I den helt eksklusive ende findes et par franske diamantøreclips på over 30.00 ct. fra 1970 ernes Paris (kat. nr. 1675). Af danske urmagere udbydes f.eks. et herrearmbåndsur fra det flere hundrede år gamle urmagerfirma Urban Jürgensen (Trésor, kat. nr. 122), men også den danske urmager Jens Olsen, der har lavet det berømte Verdensur på Københavns Rådhus, er repræsenteret med et af auktionens standure (kat. nr. 1468). Velkommen til Bruun Rasmussens jubilæumsauktion i Bredgade!

The autumn of 2008 has special significance in the history of Bruun Rasmussen. The auction house celebrates its 60th anniversary, and this is marked by a number of anniversary auctions. The catalogues, comprising antiques, applied art, jewellery and wristwatches, clearly testify to the scope and quality of the selection of the auction held November 20th 28th. Two antique marble columns from the Hellenistic period, the 3rd to the 1st century BC (Lot 1891) and a Roman marble torso of a young man from the 1st - 2nd century AD (Trésor, Lot 184), with provenance from the professors and sculptors J.A. Jerichau and E. Utzon-Frank mark the beginning of the auction s timeline. The Danish cabinetmakers of the 18th and 19th century are especially well-represented at the auction. As fine examples of North European Rococo, the auction presents Court Cabinetmaker Mathias Ortmann s chest of drawers, formerly a possession of Minister Viggo Starcke (Lot 1194), and a pair of chest of drawers (Trésor, Lot 151). Two consoles, formerly placed at Lilliendal Manor, constitutes a perfect contrast. Presumably, they were made by Professor and Architect C.F. Harsdorff, who propagated the simple Neo-Classicist ideals in Denmark and thereby fielded an alternative to the more ornate Rococo style (Lot Trésor, Lot 178). The Architect Theophilus Hansen, who is otherwise mostly known for his architecture, is represented by an artist s chair from c. 1840. The chair is known from a drawing at The Danish Museum of Art and Design and presumably derives from Klintholm Manor where, in the years from 1837 to 1840, the Scavenius family is known to have had a number of rooms decorated by his teacher from The Royal Academy of Fine Arts, C.F. Hetsch (Trésor, Lot 128). It is one fine specimen after another of older Danish furniture! However, one of the highlights of the auction, a beautiful bureau plat, derives from the French cabinetmaker, Paul Sormani, the favourite ebonist of Napoleon III s style-conscious consort, Empress Eugenie, who liked to decorate her home in the old styles of Louis X V and Louis X VI (Trésor, Lot 184). The auction features many specimens of these magnificent stylistic copies. The auction also presents a number of works in faience from the renowned antique shop Rasmussen & Bielenberg in Berlin. These items were secured, before the shop was bombed in 1945 (e.g. Lot 2102). It is a known fact that the legendary founder of Nordisk Film, Ole Olsen, was amongst the clients at Rasmussen & Bielenberg. By way of a rare antique Heriz rug, we turn from Europe to the Orient. The rug was knotted as a gift to the Shah in the second half of the 19th century and contains a lengthy ode to the Persian ruler with these grand opening words: Your Royal Highness, Young King, Owner of the World, Brave King, Sun of our Country... (Trésor, Lot 154). Jewellery from the estate of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Pettersson opens the jewellery auction November 26th (Lot 1526-1535). Among many other items, this auction includes jewellery from internationally renowned jewellery houses, e.g. an Art Déco Cartier diamond brooch from the London of the roaring 1920 s (Lot 1679). In the most exclusive end of the selection, we find a pair of French diamond ear clips in more than 30.00 ct. from the Paris of the 1970 s (Lot 1675). In addition, the auction presents a number of watches made by Danish watchmakers. Notably, these include a gentleman s wristwatch from the centuries old watchmaker s company Urban Jürgensen (Trésor, Lot 122), but also the Danish watchmaker Jens Olsen, who made the famous astronomical clock at Copenhagen City Hall, is represented by one of the auction s long-case clocks (Lot 1468). We look forward to seeing you at Bruun Rasmussen s anniversary auction in Bredgade!
