A very rare designed modernist Dutch Art Deco floorlamp, estimated ca. 1920. It's in solid oak with a black stained lower base and black stained decorations around the stem of the lamp. The style of the lamp is ''Haagse School'' (The Hague School) and also reminiscent of ''De Stijl''.
It's a well made piece with a distinctive design, most probably custom made in the 20s to 30s for a client of a Haagse School (The Hague School) architect.
The lamp has been lightly restored and is very stable and sturdy. The wiring has been redone professionally, as well as the upholstery of the vintage lampshade.
Dutch Art Deco - Haagse School
In the 1920s, a style of architecture and furniture design emerged that would become known as The Hague School. More sober than the imaginative Amsterdam School and more elegant and luxurious than De Stijl, this style is also called Dutch Art Deco.
After the First World War, young designers such as Izeren, Wouda, and Alons and developed their own modern interior designs. They chose the work of the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright as their main source of inspiration. The result was the now well-known Dutch modernism/ Haagse School style with its straight and cubist shapes.
