Åmells, Firm
Åmells is an art dealership and gallery in Stockholm that focuses on Scandinavian works from the late 1700s to today. The space displays paintings, sculptures, photographs, and contemporary art pieces in carefully arranged rooms with soft lighting and clear presentation.
Åmells was founded in 1920 by Nils Magnus Åmell, who as a child collected antique items at farm auctions. The family later became known for expanding the business into art dealing, particularly after the next generation shifted the focus more toward Scandinavian painters.
Åmells takes its name from its founder Nils Magnus Åmell and represents a long tradition of art appreciation in Scandinavia. The space functions today as a gathering place for art lovers and collectors who engage with Nordic works and experience the cultural continuity of the region.
The business is located in a historic building at Birger Jarlsgatan 14 in Stockholm and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should plan to view the works at a comfortable pace and can ask the staff for explanations or advice.
Founder Nils Magnus Åmell discovered the Söderala flute in 1916, a musical instrument from Viking times believed to be among the oldest in Scandinavia and later featured on a Swedish postage stamp. This rare artifact marks the family's ability to recognize and preserve significant historical treasures.
