Anthroposophical wall mirror. Circa 1930s-50s
Natural fruit wood. 79 x 87.5cm high.
A large wall mirror made according to the principles of the anthroposophical movement – the early c20th spiritual philosophy founded by Rudolf Steiner in Switzerland. The broad philosophy extended to the arts and crafts in a distinctive, often organic, architectural style (a key example being the Goetheanum in Dornach).
From the early twentieth century onwards anthroposophy became deeply embedded in Dutch culture. This mirror came out of the Dutch town of Zeist which has long been the Dutch centre of the movement.
Price: 2.300 euro
