Dutch Art Deco Amsterdam School coffee table with a sculptural design, 1920s

A Dutch 1920s rather large round coffeetable from the Amsterdam School period, c. 1920.

This piece is in very good lightly restored condition, very stable and with nice woodgrain and decorative sculptural details in the tablelegs. The hand carved details at the four tops of the tablelegs are reminiscent of designs by Hildo Krop.

''Amsterdam School'' is a collective name for the exuberant, imaginative and innovative design style from the period 1910-1930 by a diverse group of Dutch architects, interior designers and sculptors. Influential architects and designers include Michel De Klerk, Hildo Krop, Piet Kramer en J.M. van der Meij.

The Amsterdam School embodies several contradictions. It is an architecture that is instantly recognisable yet difficult to define. It celebrates the communal and the social yet gives almost infinite room for individual expression. It can look hyper-modern yet curiously medieval. And, at its most creative, it can be utterly, infectiously bizarre.

Amsterdam School architects designed a lot of exteriors and interiors in Amsterdam, but the style spreaded further all around the Netherlands. The Hague has its own variant, called The Hague School.
