A Dutch Art Deco 1920s (estimated) floorlamp. A very rare design, most probably a one-off, and certainly unique. The shaft has a characteristic Amsterdam School design and is painted red and black, the feet are in the shape of wheels. Together with the handmade silk conic shaped lampshade, this piece comes across very modernist and avant-garde. Very suitable in modern interiors as well as in more classic interiors.
It works with one lightbulb (E27) and is fitted with a standard European plug. The lampshade depicted is included. The lamp will be crated for shipment. Please ask for a quote using the form or sending an email/whatsapp (see contact info below on each webpage)
The Dutch modernists were greatly inspired and influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright, which is clearly visible in this piece. Although there is no documentation about the designer of this lamp, we are quite sure it was done by one of the pioneering architects of the time.
The modernist ideology can be called anti-traditional. The modernists saw their designs as a break with the traditions of art, in which the ornaments used often had a historical origin. Especially after the First World War, the modernists started to rebel against these traditional ideas and forms of art and architecture, to better reflect the modern industrialized society. This led to innovative designs with a more modern and rationalist appearance.
