Amsterdam School Dutch Art Deco oak and macassar ebony table lamp, 1920s

About the Item

An unusual Amsterdam School / Arts & Crafts table lamp from the Dutch Art Deco period, c. 1925. The tripod design is hand crafted in oak and with macassar ebony details on each of the three sides. The solid oak lampbase is in good condition, the lampbase stands firmly and stable. It has quite a bit of weight because of the solid oak. The lampshade that clasps on the lightbulb is a very old one, estimates 1920-1930, it is not original to this lamp but the shape suits the lampbase very well. It is professionally cleaned. There are some holes and wear (see the images) , but one side of the shade is still in good shape. We chose not to reupholster to maintain the authentic appearance of the piece. Background information Amsterdam School ''The Amsterdam School'' stands for the Dutch architectural movement that flourished between 1910 and 1940. The movement influenced other art forms such as sculpture, furniture design and urban planning. Some characteristics of the Amsterdam School include: Expressionist and organic shapes, decorative sculptural elements and a focus on craftsmanship. The Amsterdam School movement is seen as a very important chapter in Dutch architectural history and to this day a very recognizable and beloved style worldwide. ''Amsterdam 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.
