Art Deco Armchair by Alphonse Siebers, Netherlands, 1920s

About the Item

This rare and characterful armchair, designed in the 1920s, exemplifies the Dutch Art Deco movement, particularly reflecting the Amsterdam School's influence. Crafted from solid oak, the chair showcases refined joinery and a distinctive openwork motif beneath the seat, highlighting the era's emphasis on geometric clarity and artisanal craftsmanship. The deep blue leather upholstery complements the chair's original proportions. Peter Alphonsus Maria (Alphons) Siebers (Amsterdam, 15 September 1893 – Ulvenhout, 15 May 1978) was a Dutch architect and urban planner whose body of work bridges traditionalism and modernism. A graduate of the Technical University in Delft, Siebers became particularly known for his religious architecture, which in later decades was strongly influenced by the Bossche School - a movement rooted in liturgical clarity and proportional harmony. His designs are marked by a sensitivity to material, form, and meaning, ranging from expressive early works in the Amsterdam School style to sober, sacred spaces shaped by his evolving spiritual and architectural convictions.

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...
