A refined Dutch Art Deco side table from the 1920s, executed in solid red stained oak and oak veneer. The table displays the restrained geometry and architectural clarity characteristic of early Dutch modernist furniture of the interwar period.
The round tabletop is particularly striking. It features a carefully composed veneer pattern divided into four triangular segments, arranged in a cross formation that radiates from the center. The alternating direction of the oak grain creates a subtle geometric composition that plays with light and texture across the surface. This decorative yet disciplined approach to veneer work was typical for Dutch furniture makers exploring modern design in the 1920s.
Structurally the table is equally elegant. Four upright supports connect the top to a circular intermediate shelf, adding both stability and practical storage space. Below, the legs are joined by cross-shaped stretchers, reinforcing the architectural feel of the design.
A particularly attractive detail are the sculpted black stained feet, which lift the table slightly off the ground. Their form adds a subtle modernist character and prevents the piece from feeling heavy.
The result is a piece that balances function, geometry, and craftsmanship in a way that is typical for Dutch Art Deco furniture. Its shape and proportions make it highly versatile: ideal as a side table, lamp table, or occasional table in both historic and contemporary interiors.
The table is in very good, lightly restored condition - the oak has been finished with a traditional wax polish, giving the wood a deep, lively tone while preserving the natural grain structure.
