Item Details

1960’s Walnut and copper Swedish mirror by Froseke


Probably designed by Sigurd Göransson as he designed a range of lovely oak chests with leather handles we’ve had by the same maker . We’ve had the same design before in rosewood with chrome insets , and we think this is nicer .


In the 1960’s in Sweden it was popular to have a small low chest in a hallway with a large mirror hanging above . In Denmark it would have been a similarly small chest , but with a much smaller mirror hanging above , whilst in Holland it was often a hanging hat and coatrack ! Froseke seem to have specialised in hall chests and mirrors .


A nice simple design , a good size and beautifully made . They don’t appear for sale very often possibly because the Mid-Century look was not anywhere near as popular as it was in Denmark . Swedes were much more likely to buy more traditional furniture as a percentage of the population than Danes !


Condition
The wood frame has been cleaned and oiled and the copper polished . No obvious marks or damage that we could see . As with all vintage furniture you may see very small signs of wear if you look very closely .
