A Paul Bromberg Amsterdam School table from around 1924, which certainly still has some influences from the modernists that Paul Bromberg worked with before at Metz and Co.
This table is marked with the metal Pander & Sons plate. It has the undeniable quality of Pander furniture - sturdy, no bending of the wood, lovely woodgrain and last but not least, a great design! It's modernist and Amsterdam School at the same time. Pictures in different light and sunlight added to provide a good impression of its appearance.
The table is in unrestored and orginal condition.
