Amsterdam School Expressionist Chandelier, Netherlands, 1920s

About the Item

A striking Dutch Art Deco chandelier from the 1920s, crafted in the expressive Amsterdam School style. This piece features hand-carved fruitwood paired with ebonized accents, delicate silk fringes, and vibrant stained glass in lead. The almond-shaped frame evokes the silhouette of an eye, adding a mystical touch to its sculptural presence. Rich in detail, it captures the period’s fascination with craftsmanship, material contrasts, and dynamic forms. The Amsterdam School was a distinctive movement in Dutch architecture and design from 1910 to 1930, known for its organic shapes, expressive brickwork, and socialist ideals. It sought to create total environments where architecture, interiors, and decorative elements formed a cohesive whole. Influenced by Expressionism, the style is often associated with elaborate masonry, spires, art glass, and ironwork. Key figures like Michel de Klerk shaped its visionary aesthetic, diverging from the restrained traditionalism of their contemporaries.
