Engaging in various aesthetic disciplines including painting, drawing, graphic design, and product design, his creativity peaked in the 1950s.

    ERGONOMIC CHAIR TAN SAD

    320,00 €

    Ergonomic chair "Do More," manufactured by Tan Sad in England for Ahrend around 1920.

    A special, rare, vintage ergonomic chair in its original condition. It was used by employees of the Opcina tramway in Opicina, making it not only an interesting industrial chair but also one with a fascinating history and story. Ahrend introduced itself to the Dutch market with a series of chairs and tables called "doe meer" (do more). They were manufactured in the Tan Sad factory in England, known for producing the first ergonomic chairs. In 1920, comfort was a significant luxury, and factory workers often sat on benches without backrests. The "Do More" chair was, therefore, far ahead of its time. As seen in advertisements from that era, it promised workers: "The ideal chair for the working person. For use in offices, drafting rooms, laboratories, for operating office machines and telephones, etc. The right support for your work." Due to its specially designed frame – the seat is adjustable in height, and the backrest can be adjusted in height and angle – it is a chair on which you can sit for hours without any issues, while also encouraging proper posture. Dimensions: 82 x 54 x 46 cm Weight: 9.2 kg The chair is in good condition, and although it could be reupholstered, the original cover adds to its sentimental value.

    SCOLD’S BRIDLE

    820,00 €

    The scold's bridle.

    The scold's bridle or brank, originating from Scotland in the 16th century, was a horrific device designed to cause shame, discomfort, and pain to its wearer. Its usage spread from Scotland to England, Germany, and other European countries. Its purpose was to shame, silence, and physically discomfort individuals who were deemed unruly or outspoken, particularly women who challenged authority or societal norms. Often, these bridles were crafted to resemble masks with distorted facial features, such as large ears, noses, or horns. Some even had bells attached to them, further humiliating the wearer and drawing attention to their presence. The bridle, worn for a minimum of several hours, prevented its wearer from eating, drinking, and most importantly, speaking. It consisted of a metal part inserted into the mouth, similar to a bit in a horse's harness, which held the tongue in place. In more severe cases, these metal mouthpieces had spikes, causing additional pain. The bridle was predominantly used as a punishment for women who were considered too vocal or contentious in public, especially widows or older women who were not under male control. It was also known as a "witch's bridle," indicating its use during witch trials to prevent accused witches from casting spells on their captors or communities. Additionally, disobedient wives could be subjected to this punishment at their husbands' request. While men could also face this punishment if perceived as a threat to the common good, it was primarily reserved for women deemed gossips, adulterers, prostitutes, or witches, as well as those who defied societal norms. The bridle served as a stark reminder of the oppression women faced and the consequences of expressing dissent in conservative societies. Remarkably, this punishment was not abolished in England until 1967, reflecting the enduring legacy of patriarchal control and the gradual progress towards women's rights. The scold's bridle serves as a poignant relic of the past, prompting reflection on the darker aspects of human history. Dimensions: 26 x 25.5 x 21 cm Weight: 3.2 kg The scold's bridle is in excellent condition, complete with a lock and accompanying key.
