Provenance
From the private collection of Gunnar Silverberg (1923-2025). Silverberg was taught carpentry at his father’s shop in Malmö, and started working there at an early age. In the late 1940s, he opened his own furniture store on Baltzarsgatan. He later moved to a nearby location, opening Silverbergs furniture store, which became one of the leading furniture stores in the south of Sweden. Silverberg was also interested in Asian works of art, which he collected himself, but also sold in his store.
Thence by descent to the present owner.
