Mushroom Botanical Scientific Specimen Model Europe, 1950s or older

About the Item

This rare vintage model of a botanical scientific specimen depicts a mushroom native to Central Europe. This kind of items are used as teaching material in German schools or as showpieces in pharmacies. Colorful in natural design they show the children, employee's and customers how mushrooms look like. The models are made using mixed techniques, mainly wood and painted plaster. Some specimens bear a paper label around the stem or on the base with the original writing indicating the name of the mushroom in the different languages. This type of learning material is becoming increasingly difficult to find because new media means that such an "old-fashioned" way of learning is no longer needed. That's why these models or wall charts are now very sought after and are often used for decorative purposes. A very nice way to decorate kitchens, or all kinds of rooms in country-core or cottage-core style. The collection is offered in separate pieces. We purchased them at an estate sale auction in Vienna, Austria. They are probably the work of Czechoslovakian, French or German artisans in the mid 20th century who worked for botanical museums. The microfungi models in plaster, are mounted directly on a wooden base with the addition, sometimes, of moss to reconstruct the environment, in addition to showing their anatomical and chromatic characteristics.
