Skultuna

Skultuna was founded by King Karl IX in 1607 and is now one of the oldest still-active companies in the world. With over 400 years of brass craftsmanship, Skultuna has become associated with thoughtful design, quality, and durability – qualities that also led to its appointment as a Royal Purveyor.

The foundry has remained in the same location in Västmanland since its beginning. Early on, master casters arrived from Germany and the Netherlands, and the oldest preserved chandelier from Skultuna dates back to 1619. Through centuries of fires and floods, production has continued without interruption.

Today, Skultuna is part of Swedish design history, where traditional craft meets contemporary form. The products are still made at the foundry, with steps like grinding, polishing, and engraving done by hand. The result is objects with both history and weight – given as gifts, used every day, or passed down through generations.
