An occasional table from the Dutch Art Deco era, 1920s. Designed by P.E.L. Izeren for De Genneper Molen as no. 258. This design is well documented. The old catalogue from the Genneper Molen depicts the same table as no. 256. This no. 258 was the more luxurious version with a spider web like pattern of wood veneer on the top.
The table has a modernist or ''Haagse School'' design. It would combine very well with modernist pieces and art and is a nice accent piece.. The piece is in very good condition, stable and sturdy.
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.
Designs for the Genneper Molen were quite similar and visibly influenced by the ''Haagse School'' architects (famous designers: Cor Alons, Frits Spanjaard and Hendrik Wouda).
