Mirror

Nils Fougstedt, Herman Bergmans konstgjuteri

Mirror with pewter frame featuring a surmounting angel's head. Hallmarked. Made by Herman Bergmans konstgjuteri, Stockholm, 1936. Designed by Nils Fougstedt, a Swedish sculptor and designer who was the brother of Arvid Fougstedt. Together with Estrid Ericson, he established a workshop for the production of pewter objects in Stockholm in 1924, which became the foundation of the company Firma Svenskt Tenn. From the 1920s classicism, he transitioned around 1930 to a moderate functionalism with straight, polished surfaces.
