Set of Four Amsterdamse School Oak Dining Chairs, The Netherlands 1920s

About the Item

The Amsterdamse School was an influential Dutch architectural and design movement that emerged in the early 20th century, leaving an indelible mark on the cultural landscape of the Netherlands and Europe. Beyond its architectural achievements, the Amsterdamse School extended its influence to interior design and furniture, giving rise to a distinctive style that reflects a harmonious blend of craftsmanship, artistic expression and social ideals, exemplified by this set of chairs with an enduring appeal, quality, and style. These high-back dining chairs are the epitome of Amsterdam School style - a perfect blend of functionality and aesthetics. With a beautiful color and patina, these chairs exude elegance and sophistication, making them a perfect addition to any modern home. One of the most striking features of these chairs is their luxurious velvet purple upholstery. The texture of the fabric complements the wooden frame beautifully, creating a perfect balance of comfort and style. The attention to detail is evident in the carvings on the wooden frames and geometric lines, which make these chairs a true work of art. The wood's beautiful patina and color add to their charm, giving them a unique character. The Amsterdamse School’s main style characteristics are also reflected in the design of these chairs: expressive, Art Deco-reminiscent shapes, and functionality aided by form. Designers of this period sought to integrate form and function seamlessly, resulting in furniture pieces that were not only visually striking but also practical. Subtle and intricate detailing can be observed in these chairs as well, from the supple upholstery down to the carved wooden legs. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Some scratches and marks on the wood. These chairs come with their original upholstery or have been reupholstered by a previous owner.
