Pewter Lion by Anna Petrus
Anna Petrus’ lion is an iconic pewter object that has been a part of Svenskt Tenn’s range since 1927. The lion is a true work of art: elaborately detailed and timeless in its design, created with inspiration from the Far East.
The lion — Anna Petrus’ signature motif
A couple of years before Svenskt Tenn was founded, during the exhibition at Liljevalchs Gallery in Stockholm 1922, artist Anna Petrus had shown a gilded mirror featuring a majestic lion inspired by ancient Carthaginian art.
The Angel Mark on Pewter Objects
Svenskt Tenn’s own pewter objects are always stamped with Änglamärket (The Angel Mark), which has evolved into a recognisable hallmark of quality.
