Lot Essay

An almost identical Swedish Empire console table and matching mirror bearing the label of Jonas Frisks (1787-1849) are illustrated in T. Sylvén & E. Welander-Berggren, Speglar: Spegelmakare & Fabrikörer I Sverige, Stockholm, 2000, p.129.
Frisk, who was granted the right to produce mirrors from the Stockholm kommerskollegium in 1805, ran a successful workshop employing between 9 and 14 craftsmen, first located at the Stortorget (1806-10), then at the Storkyrkobrinken (1810-14) and finally at the Riddarhustorget (1814-25).
