Otto Schulz mirror
This rare mirror, designed by Otto Schulz and produced by Boet in Sweden during the 1940s, represents a refined blend of Scandinavian modern design with notable Art Deco influences. The mirror features a rectangular shape with a frame upholstered in white artificial leather, creating a sleek and luxurious surface. Brass nailhead trim runs continuously along the perimeter of the frame, accentuating the mirror’s geometric precision and adding a touch of refined detail. The glass itself is segmented, with discreet brass detailing at the intersections, offering a subtle decorative element that enhances the overall design.
Otto Schulz, a highly regarded designer and architect, was known for his use of luxurious materials and exceptional craftsmanship.

Boet was recognized for producing high-quality, sophisticated furniture and accessories, and this mirror is a perfect example of the company’s commitment to both aesthetic beauty and craftsmanship.
