This chapter will be including about 150 different Serafimer Stars. I have been looking and digging for information through the last 30 years to understand a bit of this history. My focus is to display the variations of these beautiful pieces of art.
I must thank the huge inventory at Livrustkammaren in Stockholm Sweden. They have a huge collection of historical pieces with historical information. As you see on this page a lot of the photos are still in black and white. Hopefully one day one will have more of these photos in high resolution color. They have iincluded the history of these pieces and on many the dimensions are included. Unfortunately the weight of the pieces are missing. I am sure this will be available one day.
The Livrustkammaren is located next to the Royal Castle in Stockholm. I have visited their exhibitions several times. Very nice and and very interesting. About 20 years ago I was to have meetings with them and also having a real look at their vaults. Unfortuntely Radon gas had been measured at too high levels and the old vaults were closed for all visits for years. Still we had some very good meetings and discussed their collection of orders. Since then they have moved their photos from their old website and now you find most of it on Wikimedia Commons, Europeana, Omnia.ie, etc. Hopefully what you find there will be on these pages, plus alot more.
