Dutch Art Deco side table by P.E.L. Izeren for Genneper Molen, 1920s

About the Item

An occasional table from the Dutch Art Deco era, 1920s. Designed by P.E.L. Izeren for De Genneper Molen as no. 258. This design is documented. The old catalogue from the Genneper Molen depicts the same table as no. 256. This no. 258 was the more luxurious version with an intricate radial pattern of wood veneer framed by a darker border. The table has a modernist or ''Haagse School'' design. Crafted in solid oak and a spiderweb pattern veneered top, the piece exemplifies the subtle craftsmanship and restrained elegance of Dutch design in the interwar period. The table is in very good expertly restored condition, sturdy and stable, with a warm patina that enhances its timeless appeal. P.E.L. Izeren (1886-1943) designed several pieces for 'De Genneper Molen'' and worked there until the late 1930s. The Genneper Mill was a sawmill, housed in an old water mill in the town of Gennep (in 1898). The name referred to the water wheel that initially powered the sawmill. From around 1917 the sawmill started to manufacture small furniture such as small tables, umbrella stands, coat racks and tea cabinets. They called it ''supplementary furniture'' , as advertised in their catalogues. Soon this became the core business of the sawmill. Designs for the Genneper Molen were quite similar to, and visibly influenced by the ''Haagse School'' architects (famous designers: Cor Alons, Frits Spanjaard and Hendrik Wouda).
