Thyra (Tyra) Helena Borg (1872-1948) was the eldest of the seven children Antti and Eva Helena Ahlstrom had together. For the love of silver objects Tyra Borg wrote a book called "Guld och silversmeder i Finland" ("Gold and silversmiths in Finland"). The book, published in 1935, is still a highly appreciated reference book among experts and amateurs. While writing the book Tyra Borg started collecting old Finnish silver. This publication presents the classy and rare pieces of Tyra Borg's collection. Besides introducing the most significant Finnish private collection of the field this book also gives the reader the keys to the the world of Finnish antique silver: all known city hallmarks and date letters used by the silversmiths in Finland. Very Good. Item #385
