Pair of Swedish Silver Needle Dishes
A beautiful pair of small silver needle dishes from the height of 19th-century Swedish silversmithing. One, attributed to Adolf Theodor Lillja, Stockholm, 1844, has a softly contoured Rococo-style border with delicate engraved floral decoration. The other, produced by the Möllenborg-Féron workshop, Stockholm, 1871, features a finely pierced rim of intertwining leaves and vines.
Known for its high level of craftsmanship, the Möllenborg workshop ranked among Sweden’s leading producers of decorative silver in the 19th century with works now held in the collection of the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm.
