The furniture from the Amsterdam School period is in a sense a reflection or extension of the architectural style that is so characteristic. A high level of decoration is achieved by the many ornaments and layering and will never become boring or annoying for the spectator.

Design

This side table is a prime example of this. Striking legs are very expressive and change in silhouette from curves to pointed corners and back again. Black-colored decorations have been applied to the top of the legs in three layers and the plateau clamped between the legs has a thorny edge. The round top is decorated all around the edge with small wooden balls that show a beautiful shine. Veneer work that is a feast for the eyes and the typical star shape alternating with deep brown ebony parts make this item highly decorative.

Condition

This item has been restored while retaining the patina and small characteristic imperfections.
