Collection Hugo Vedder (1926-2006) and Gerda Vedder (1932-2019)

Hugo Vedder was the owner of a sophisticated furniture store in Dusseldorf. The company was founded in 1899 by his father in Lüdinghausen in Westphalia, where furniture was produced in the most careful manual work. In the 1960s, Hugo Vedder sold high quality furniture and interiors in the Danish style. While his wife Gerda (1932-2019) collected Art Nouveau ceramics and Meissen porcelain, Hugo Vedder took a liking to East Asian glazes and vessel shapes.
