Hoffmans Antiques
Pair of Gustavian armchairs Ephraim Ståhl (Sweden, 1768-1820) Parcel gilt and bronzed wood Stockholm, circa 1810 H 85 x W 63 x D 50 cm Each armchair has a scrolled back and armrests decorated with carved laurels. The side rails are adorned with griffin heads and a palmette frieze; the fluted, tapered front legs with leaf-tip carvings. The sabre-shaped back legs end in lion's paw feet. The pair of armchairs is attributed to Ephraim Ståhl and made around 1805. Ephraim Ståhl a renowned Swedish craftsman who was a prominent furniture maker from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. Known for the high quality of his work and as well his bold, innovative designs. Ståhl became a favorite of the Swedish Royal family, with his pieces featured in nearly every royal castle. This model however featuring griffins beneath the armrests, is one of Ståhl’s more unusual designs, rarely seen on the open market. It was likely a special commission, possibly by Duke Karl, the brother of Gustav III, who had a particular fondness for the griffin motif, incorporating it throughout the interiors of Rosersberg Castle.

sanam khatibi
Sanam Khatibi (Belgian with Iranian heritage, 1979) A few more crimes, 2018 Oil, pastel and pencil on panel 24 x 31 cm Sanam Khatibi (b. 1979, Belgium, of Iranian heritage) is a Belgian artist whose multifaceted practice spans painting, tapestry, sculpture, and installation. Based between Brussels and Paris, Khatibi’s work explores the delicate and complex balance between beauty, violence, and vulnerability. Her practice engages with themes of human imperfection, the tension between domination and submission, and the chaotic forces that shape our lives. Through a distinctive use of color and form, she draws attention to the fragility of the human experience and the unspoken violence that often lies beneath surface appearances. In her work, Khatibi delves into the darker aspects of human nature, exploring our struggles with excess, control, and the breakdown of social and moral boundaries. These explorations are framed in landscapes that juxtapose natural beauty with underlying violence and destruction, invoking a timeless tension between civilization and primal instincts. Her figures -whether human, animal, or mythical-are often presented as fragile, vulnerable, and engaged in various states of conflict, emphasizing the stark realities of human survival and the consequences of unchecked desire. These small-scale vanitas paintings from the 'murders serie' are introspective works, conceived as protection charms, invite the viewer into an intimate reflection on life's transience and human vulnerability.
