Stockholms Auktionsverk Göteborg welcomes you to an auction of selected objects from the shared home of the couple Ulfstand Rosencrantz and Margaretha Åkerhielm af Margrethelund in Djursholm. These beautiful objects have been passed down through generations within the family.

Ulfstand Rosencrantz, who served in the Swedish Navy with the rank of Commander, was born at Gyllebo Castle in Skåne, which at the time was owned by his father, Chamberlain Börje Rosencrantz. A large proportion of the paintings, silverware and other objects originate from the Skåne family and from Gyllebo. On his mother’s side there were strong Danish roots. Ulfstand’s mother, Lovisa Rosenkrantz, was born in Denmark and belonged to the Danish branch of the Rosenkrantz family. Margaretha Åkerhielm af Margrethelund also came from a Swedish noble family, and the home in Djursholm came to be shaped by the history, traditions and collections of both families.
