History & Philosophy
of ars SCANDINAVICA?

Established in 2003, Ars Scandinavica is the result of a long desire to deal with objects of art, which left their trace in the younger art history of Scandinavia and northern Europe. The enterprise has its origin and base in Denmark's capital city Copenhagen in close neighbourhood to Sweden. Our location allows us ideally sourcing our articles from both countries along the Oresound. Operating from the heart of Scandinavia it suggests itself to specialize on Scandinavian and northern European art with main focus on ceramics and porcelain from the 20th century.

The concept of Ars Scandinavica is an online business accessible over the world wide Internet. Our gallery displays objects designed and manufactured by some of the most distinguished potters and artists in northern Europe. The gallery provides for each item several pictures allowing for examining a particular object from different views - almost like you would turn it your own hands. Before you may decide ordering one of our pieces you should profoundly be supplied with the information about it. Beside the details directly related to a particular object of art we strive to publish background material about artists, manufactures, materials and history in brief articles on this site. This effort is motivated by our devotion to research in the field of Scandinavian art to offer you more than just goods of trade.

Ars Scandinavica sets a high value on trustworthiness and quality and seeks to meet our client's demands. The aim to create an art trade with care for detail and journalistic ambition requires time to develop. For this reason the web site of Ars Scandinavica will be under permanent supplementation.




We invite you to visit our gallery whether for pure curiosity or purchase intention and we hope you enjoy your stay in our virtual exhibition.

We wish you an inspiring experience...

Remaining with best regards
