The model is recorded in the production log in the archive at Svenskt Tenn without a documented designer. Versions of mirrors in ebonized wood and pewter designed by Uno Åhrén were displayed at the Swedish Exhibition of Industrial Arts & Crafts at Dorland House in London in March-April 1931 and subsequently at Galerie Moderne in Stockholm in September that same year, which is why Åhrén is considered the attributed designer of the present mirror model.
