Three-Door Lacquered Berlin Deko Cabinet with Medieval Motifs
About the Item
An exceptional three-door lacquered cabinet attributed to Max Wiederanders, Munich, circa 1919, demonstrating the distinctive aesthetic dialogue between medieval imagery and the influence of the Wiener Werkstätte that characterized progressive German design of the period. This remarkable piece features a rich jade green lacquer finish with meticulously hand-painted decorative panels on all three doors.
The center door features a charming stylized portrait of a lady wearing a traditional hennin headdress rendered in a plaid pattern, flanked by decorative floral motifs that echo early Wiener Werkstätte design principles. The side doors feature complementary folk-inspired floral compositions in shades of golden yellow and blue that harmonize beautifully with the central figure.
The cabinet's architectural presence is enhanced by its oversized profile edge detailing, which creates a strong horizontal line across the piece. The gently curved base provides an elegant counterpoint to the cabinet's geometric top structure.
This cabinet represents a fascinating moment in the Munich Arts and Crafts movement, when designers like Wiederanders were synthesizing medieval motifs with modern sensibilities to create furniture that functioned as both utilitarian storage and artistic expression.
