Anthroposophical handmade wardrobe, Netherlands, 1940s

Beautiful anthroposophical handmade wooden wardrobe. Handmade in the 1940s, this wardrobe is most likely made of a mix of beech and oak. As can be seen in the pictures, the wardrobe clearly has the familiar organic anthroposophical design that is part of Rudolf Steiner’s philosophy. The cabinet is in excellent condition with minimal signs of use befitting its age. Originally, the cabinet was made for storing linen, but today it can be used for anything, including storing clothes. The cabinet has ample shelf space and a section with a rod for hanging clothes. Equipped with the corresponding key. Anthroposophists also believe that colour has a special meaning that can unlock the hidden meaning of images, words or shapes. For this reason, the inside of the cabinet was once painted red. The colour has since faded nicely with the wood and gives a beautiful warm glow. See photos. Dimensions: 195 cm high, total width 177 cm (middle cabinet 87 cm wide, outer two cabinets 45 cm wide), depth on the outer sides 46 cm, depth in the middle 57 cm.
