An occasional table from the Dutch Art Deco era, 1920s. Most probably designed by P.E.L. Izeren for De Genneper Molen. Most pieces by Genneper Molen are not marked with the stamp but the Genneper Molen pieces have certain characteristics - in this piece; the veneer on top with a circle around it, the way the tablelegs are attached to the top and the shape of the tablelegs.
The table has an Amsterdam School design and is in very good expertly restored condition - shiny and smooth surfaces, stable and sturdy. Perfect as an accent piece or suitable as a plant stand.
P.E.L. Izeren (1886-1943) designed several pieces for 'De Genneper Molen'' and worked there until the late 1930s. The Genneper Mill was a sawmill, housed in an old water mill in the town of Gennep (in 1898). The name referred to the water wheel that initially powered the sawmill. From around 1917 the sawmill started to manufacture small furniture such as small tables, umbrella stands, coat racks and tea cabinets. They called it ''supplementary furniture'' , as advertised in their catalogues. Soon this became the core business of the sawmill.
