A Dutch Art Deco side table, 1920s, in solid oak. It has a very modernist / The Hague School / some would even say 'De Stijl' design with clean straight lines, which are very pleasing to the eye.
The lower tabletop is slightly elevated which gives it a floating appearance. This table is very suitable as an accent piece or to display a statue or vase on. Considering age and use, this piece is in very good condition. It is well made, in heavy solid oak and it stands very stable (also due to the design).
Background information The Hague School
In the 1920s, a style of architecture and furniture design emerged in The Hague that would become known as Haagse School. More cubist and functional than the imaginative Amsterdam School style, but with some similarities as well. After the First World War, young designers such as Hendrik Wouda, Frits Spanjaard and J. Brunott developed their own modern interior designs. For inspiration they chose the work of the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright and combined their idiosyncratic preferences with the commercial requirements in furniture design of that time. The result was the now well-known Dutch 'Hague School' style with its recognizable forms and shapes.
