Mid-Century Modern Solid Wood Mirror by Eriksmålaglas, Sweden, circa 1950s

About the Item

In Sweden, the efforts to improve design in the twentieth century were more purist and moralistic compared to other countries due to the socialist government structure adopted there since the 1930s. Sweden embraced both tradition and industrial design, resulting in pieces that are just as contemporary today as they were back in the day. This mirror is from the famed mirror manufactory, Eriksmålaglas established in the homonymous Swedish locality. With an overall look and details that represent mid-century Swedish modernism, this solid wood mirror is rooted in tradition. It reflects the traditions of timelessness and quality with a sizeable frame that follows the understated yet well-though out design principles of Swedish craftsmanship with simple lines and visible tenon joinery. The rectangular frame and the beautiful wood grain provide simple elegance, making this mirror perfect to bring some understated modernism to any space. Abroad, the Swedish efforts to create applied art attuned to modern man and his needs have been termed a style, Swedish Modern. This style, as shown through this mirror, means natural, understated form and honest treatment of material. The mirror is marked by the manufacturer’s sticker and numbered ‘649-3’. It is also indicated on this mark, that the glass of the mirror is of the highest, “AA” quality. Eriksmålaglas was well known for their continuing manufacturing of modern furniture pieces with glass designed by leading Swedish designers. Among them was Erik Höglund, who designed many of their mirror models, possibly this one as well. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Some small marks on the wood. Dimensions: 12.99 in W x 1.57 in D x 42.12 in H. 33 cm W x 4 cm D x 107 cm H. Shipping: This mirror will be packaged and shipped with the greatest care and attention to make sure you will receive the item in gallery condition. Complimentary shipping within the Netherlands.

    Svensk design, “Swedish design”, is unquestionably a conventional and popular branding device, with many companies explicitly promoting their products as examples of god design, “good design”. But svensk design does not simply represent “good” design made in Sweden, it also projects a powerful, concrete rendering of a sort of essentialized “Swedishness” embedded in objects, such as this sofa. Rounded out lines, unexpected curvature and innovative shapes from every angle define the design of this model. The aesthetic recalls classic English upholstered furniture...

  • Swedish Mid-Century Easy Chair with Sheepskin, Sweden 1950s
    Located in Utrecht, NL
    This classic easy chair was designed in the 1950s, during the most active period of what we know today as mid-century Swedish furniture design. This chair is designed in the typical Scandinavian modern style with a clean and functional look complemented by stylish elements. The chair’s simple and functional design, starting from the wooden frame’s symmetric lines to the visible joints and screws, is highly representative of the principles of Scandinavian mid-century design. The gently spread out legs are connected by stretchers to assure stability and comfort. The wooden frame appears to be firmly holding, grasping the back- and seat rest, which is even more apparent thanks to the soft, dark sheepskin upholstery. The sheepskin further highlights the round edges of the seat- and back rest, which contrasts nicely with the straight lines of the frame. The design is reminiscent of Alf Svensson’s TeVe...
