Just a quick thought. had Germany won the war, wed be in year 78 of the 1000 yr Reich. How much cooler would a place like IKEA be?

nice 1800 truhe proves my point

Thalmannpioneir, nice photos of a nice book.
I like page 100.
Where it shows a truhe from 1800 with all the nice symbols that would make someone think SS Kultural corner material. At least before I stated this was an incorrect theory.
Proving my point with those in this thread who argued that I was wrong in daring to point out that truhes/chests with pagan symbols like this julrad zeichen on this beautiful and very old (but not nazi or SS ) truhes are not always from the TR era, and pagan images do not prove it is SS.

to point out that truhes/chests with pagan symbols like this julrad zeichen on this beautiful and very old (but not nazi or SS ) truhe.

correct Michael

those Chests with "Sinnbild Carvings" (Pagan Symbols)existed looong long before the 3rd Reich existed....same with other Cultural Furniture
Items.

One can only wish.........

For sure the SS needed to take their symbolism from somewhere - and they showed many of these same pics in their books to make clear where they got these symbols from and why they use it - to keep the old german traditions alive.

As others and I already pointed out that was especially done by SS-Sturmbannführer Karl Theodor Weigel and his Sinnbild-Archiv in Göttingen and in Berlin.

There were many different types of chests and decoration (colored or carved - or even both) used within centuries - but to find authentic chests from the period is still a desire and a specialty just already because they are extremely rare and in most cases unique masterpieces.

Nice group of pictures from your book

Pagan or Christian symbols, I guess it depends on who is using them The chest to me looks Christian. We should also bear in mind they are symbols used in other part of Europe too.

Here's another picture from a book of mine, a Church ceiling in Schönborn.
