[nuveau-deco]

Cupboard Owned (and Decorated) by German Art Nouveau and Symbolist Painter, Carl Strathmann (1866–1939). Dimensions: 179 cm x 98 cm x 51 cm. From the Munich City Museum, Applied Arts Collection, inventory number: M-71/4.

"… The simple spruce cabinet with fluted side frames and a straight cornice was originally decorated with no other decorative motifs. The artist attached a slatted frame with geometrically arranged, gilded decorative nails to the front of the cabinet and provided the right side with a vertical structure. He decorated the cornice, the upper corners and the right side with embossed brass sheets, with the brass heads and nails in a repeat pattern. The frame and the lower panels are painted with classical palmettes, garlands and wreaths. The main field shows a tree with golden fruits. The unfinished left side reveals that the cabinet was intended for a corner of the room."
