A center table or coffee table, Amsterdamse School, 1920s - 1930s. The design is similar to pieces by Paul Bromberg, a famous interior designer from the Dutch Art Deco period who lived from 1893 - 1949. The table is very well made and in good lightly restored condition. An eye catching piece with an Arts & Crafts look and feel. Image added with other Amsterdam School furniture to get a better idea of the size of the table.
Background information Amsterdam School (1910-1940)
''Amsterdam School'' is a collective name for the exuberant, imaginative and innovative design style by a diverse group of Dutch architects, interior designers and sculptors. Influential architects and designers include Michel De Klerk, Hildo Krop, Piet Kramer en J.M. van der Meij. The Amsterdam School embodies several contradictions. It is an architecture that is instantly recognizable yet difficult to define. It celebrates the communal and the social yet gives almost infinite room for individual expression. It can look hyper-modern yet curiously medieval. And, at its most creative, it can be utterly, infectiously bizarre. Amsterdam School architects designed a lot of exteriors and interiors in Amsterdam, but the style spreaded further all around the Netherlands. The Hague has its own variant, called The Hague School.
