Flemish for “mirror tents”, Spiegeltents were built around 1900 in Belgium to be used as traveling dance halls, and were mainly assembled for town fairs. The numerous spiegels, or mirrors, in the interior of the tent, made it possible to make discreet eye contact with other visitors. These mirror tents were the favorite environment of night owls, heartbreakers and dream chasers. Over the years, Sp
iegeltents have become legendary as a symbol of the wild fin-de-siecle nightlife. Very few of these unique tents have survived the test of time. Flemish Spiegeltents have been much loved attractions in Belgium, Holland, and Germany for many years. The russet-colored ambiance of mahogany, and the sparkles from the facetted mirrors provide the visitors with a taste of genuine nostalgia. In collaboration with the Rik Klessens Family, 4th generation Spiegeltent builders, West Coast Spiegeltents, a California based company, is proud to bring these exclusive environments to the Americas. Don’t hesitate to make this authentic flavor of old world culture the centerpiece of your next event! Email us at [email protected] or call us at 661-755-7575 regarding availability.
