A Dutch Art Deco nicely sized and very elegant occasional table or side table. The table has a sculptural design and the feet are black and slighly conical in shape. This table is suitable as an accent piece in any eclectic interior, but also in more classic interiors. It is a well made and sturdy with very little wear for its age (made in the 1920s). The style is recognizable as Amsterdam School with the sculptural, organic shapes and forms.
Some photo's added in direct sunlight to give a good impression of the colour.
About the style called 'Amsterdamse School'
''Amsterdamse School'' is a collective name for the exuberant, imaginative and innovative design style from the period 1910-1930 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 recognisable 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.
