Rare Adjustable Wrought Iron Desk or Piano Lamp Amsterdamse School, ca. 1910s
Located in Lisse, NL
* Kindly note that we arrange the shipping ourselves to ensure a smooth, secure, and reliable delivery. This allows us to provide the best possible service and care for your purchase.
Adjustable wrought iron desk lamp with counterweight, Dutch expressionist ca. 1920.
A rare architectural gem from the golden era of Dutch design. This adjustable wrought iron table or piano lamp, dating from the early 1920s, is an exceptional example of the Amsterdamse School movement, famed for its expressive forms, honest materials, and integration of function and sculpture.
Crafted entirely by hand, the lamp features a sophisticated three-position height adjustment system via a striking counterweight mechanism, a feat of engineering as elegant as it is utilitarian. The heavy forged iron frame displays bold geometric detailing and honest craftsmanship typical of the movement, with meticulous hammer marks and subtle asymmetry that celebrate the hand of the maker.
While unsigned, the design language speaks clearly to the school of Piet Kramer and the greater network of Amsterdamse School designers, whose influence extended into municipal buildings, interiors, and custom furnishings throughout the Netherlands in the 1910s and '20s. This is not just lighting, this is architecture in miniature.
The not original hide-like-fabric of the lamp shade is no longer in perfect condition, but it certainly still is good enough to use on this desk lamp. With this rare lamp you can create the perfect atmosphere on your desk or on any (side)table in your living room, (home) office or library / reading room.
If you like the uniqueness, the quality, the beauty, the workmanship, the condition and the deeper meaning of this sculptural table lamp as much as we do then you will love our price. Especially when taken into account that perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 5 days are complimentary.
Maximum height adjustable x width x depth: 14,5 till 21 x 5.7 x 13.5 inches.
*Styling Tips: Art Deco or Bauhaus furnishings as counterpoints.
Or let it stand solo, like a sculptural presence on a console or credenza.
We are driven by a passion for uniqueness, timeless, quality, stylish design, and the enduring craftsmanship of the past. Every purchase is carefully and thoughtfully packed — and we look forward to serving you (again).

Provenance / Acquisition:
A fine and magnificent private estate in Greenwich, Connecticut
Acquired from the reputable auction house Blackrock Galleries, Greenwich, Connecticut
Maker:
Ronson's Art Metal Works, founded by Louis V. Aronson (1869-1940) in the 1800s, was a leader and pioneer in the manufacture of fine decorative metalwares into the 1930s, producing a diverse selection of beautifully designed bookends, figural lighters, hood ornaments, figurines, lamps, and more.
Dimensions: (approx)
6.5" High, 4.5" Wide, 4.5" Deep (each)
History:
Louis Aronson while still a student in the mid 1880s, registered his first patent for the electroplating of metal. In 1886, he sold his patent, raising $5,000, to start the Art Metal Company in New York City. The following year, he moved the company to Newark, NJ and changed the name to Art Metal Works.
Ronson is best known for cigarette lighters, he invented the “safety match” in 1897, and the first mechanical cigarette lighter in 1910. But it was throughout the 1920s and 1930s, Ronson Art Metal Works became one of the most prolific and creative of all artistic bookend producers. In 1915, he copyrighted his first pair of bookends, and by 1936 had over 150 copyrighted bookends in his company catalog. By 1928 the company was traded on the American stock exchange...
