    Another piece of material I recently bought, a catalogue of the firm Otto Schubert, Dresden.

    Typical Tree of Life pattern tapestry of the type the DHW also bought in and sold.

      My mood has improved!

      The posts get better and better! Thanks Daniel and Steve again! Beautiful images!

      I esp. like how that tap. extends to the high ceiling. Makes an impressive statement and pulls the eye up. Really well done - like a tree growing through the generations - link upon link in the family chain.

          We used to have a single chair like the one shown in post #2330 at home. Unfortunately the Binsen had suffered from daily use and it got thrown out.

            There is certainly a bit of resemblance in that tapestry to the one I have.

              I would agree if it was SS items instead of turning into images of a flea market from the houses of the elderly

                Anthony,

                Some people want focus on purely items that the SS used in their SS cultural activities and others like to also look at the bigger cultural changes of which the SS were involved in.

                If you look in the Weitzel book which you collect, you see both. What you can say is purely SS, an item such as the Julleuchter, its stands upon a DHW chest and also in front of a tapestry of the type the DHW sold. These items are linked by Weitzel himself in his book and therefore presents us with clear and pictured link between DHW and the SS. What we also see from these pictures that Daniel and I have shown is that the very same items, ie the tapestry and the DHW furniture the SS are effectively recommending to the SS membership are also available to the greater public.

                Some of us like to look at the big picture of the SS involvment in the cultural movements in the Third Reich. The pictures are from period design magazines printed in the Third Reich showing the trends of the time and so an important resource in learning what exactly was available, surely valuable information whether you look at the smaller SS picture or the greater German cultural picture.

                You present some nice items here and it would seem you like only the smaller picture, that's fair enough but there is no need to be disrespectful to other members greater German cultural interests with the sarcasm of the flea market and elderly comment.

                  Here is a photo of an retirement home for the SS elderly.

                    Excellent picture!

                    It essential illustrates part of what I was trying to say in words. It is period documentation showing the cultural style of the SS, made available for purchase by the SS and anyone else in the greater German public through the DHW.

                          I've seen photographs of that room in another publication as well but I can't think where, I wonder if it is inside an SS building?

                            Studying the object - in this case an original wrought iron DHW floor lamp - brushed and blackened finish.

                                Some of my wrought iron favourites - oak leaves as national symbols.
