Göran's Home

starting at €90.00

Not much remains of Göran's island home, only a lot of questions. Was he a pilot or a fisherman, perhaps a seal hunter? Maybe all of those? In his day, a lot of Baltic herring and European sprat were caught, but also cod and pike. The fish were sold in Helsinki and Turku, and perhaps most of all in Tallinn. The seasoning of the fish was a great secret – as great a secret as the story of Göran's home.

Nostalgia – Memories of the past

Even in the dim light of the waterfront shed, you can see the practical beauty of the handle, worn smooth by decades of use. The spirit of the curly pine tree lives on in the tool – the tree from which it was crafted. In all the boxes and barrels, fishing net hooks, ice augers, corfs, decoy ducks, shovels and scrapers... The new cannot replace the old. It lacks the stories, spirits, and elves.
