Expressionist Amsterdam School Reclining Chairs, Oak and Fabric Upholstery, 1920

About the Item

Pair of early Amsterdam School (1910-1930) reclining chairs manufactured c. 1920. The exuberant appearance characteristic of the movement's first period features strong sculptural expressionist lines with elaborate details different from one chair to another and dynamic shape through the movement function. The reclining backrest typical of the Arts and Crafts Morris chair has four positions and is easy to adjust. The waxed oak structure has been restored and is in perfect condition. The comfortable cushions are covered with expressionistically patterned, polychrome velvet and are still in good shape.

  • Amsterdam School Armchairs in Original Upholstery, Art Deco, Dutch Modern, 1940s
    Located in Antwerp, BE
    1940's, Dutch Modern, Lounge Chair, Amsterdamse school, Armchair, Art Deco, Expressionism, Jugendstil. Dutch modern set of six chairs of Amsterdamse school. The original upholstery creates an authentic quality. The Amsterdam School is famous for its architecture, both in the Netherlands and internationally. However, the school’s spectacular designs for the interior are less well-known. In the early 1900s, the Amsterdamse School designers radically transformed the applied arts. The survey encompasses over 500 objects and is the fruit of many years of research, and an appeal for help in tracing items related to the movement. The search for objects led to the discovery of numerous designs now in private hands like this piece. With its expressive and rich forms, the Amsterdam School (1910-1930) is unique in the Netherlands. The movement not only consisted of architecture but also included designs for furniture, lamps, clocks, ceramics, and textile.
