Svenskt Tenn is an exclusive Swedish design firm, founded by Estrid Ericson in 1924, where pewter has always been the lifeblood. With its lustrous surface and enduring strength, this timeless material grows only more beautiful as the years pass. Pewter is among the most venerable and versatile materials in Swedish craftsmanship, and one of the few metals to have been used since prehistoric times.
Anna Petrus developed a bold, distinctive style characterized by her fascination with form, material, and the decorative potential of metal. In the 1920s, Petrus turned her focus to applied arts and design—a move that led to her collaboration with Svenskt Tenn where she became a leading creative force during the 1920s and 1930s. As one of the few women in the industry, her career was both groundbreaking and emblematic of the era’s evolving view of modern design. WhilePetrus is widely celebrated for her stylized animal motifs,Estrid Ericson at Svenskt Tenn loved the distinct, sleek, angular power of the panther head.
