1920's Art Deco "Amsterdam School" Teak Arm Chairs with Purple Velvet Upholstery

About the Item

Gorgeous 1920's “Amsterdam School” teak arm chairs with little inlaid detail and purple upholstery. The “Amsterdam School” was an offshoot of the Art-Deco movement, and its origin shows here in the beautifully detailed design and the craftsmanship on display. The frames are in original condition with some visible wear but have accrued a lovely patina over time. All pieces are in a similar vintage condition, and the wear is consistent with their age and use. Even though the purple is probably not the original fabric, it is almost certainly several decades old. Chairs are individually priced.

Art Deco Amsterdam School Armchairs in Original Upholstery, Netherlands, 1940s
Located in Antwerp, BE
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. The style was taken up by all disciplines, particularly graphic design, in which a relatively large number of women were active, including Tine Baanders and Fré...
