Amsterdam School - Candlestick (2) - Bronze

A rare pair of Bronze Candlesticks - Amsterdam School - Geometric Expressionism - The Netherlands - ca. 1920-1925

Pair of solid bronze candlesticks, quintessential examples of the Dutch Amsterdam School movement (part of the International Art Deco period). These candlesticks embody the architectural and monumental style that made Dutch design famous in the early 20th century.

Style: Amsterdam School / Dutch Art Deco.

Form: The design features a striking hexagonal base supported by decorative block-feet at each corner. The tapering hexagonal stem leads to a wide, architectural drip pan and a cylindrical candle holder.

Material: High-quality solid bronze with a rich, dark original patina. The sharp geometric edges show beautiful highlights where the bronze shines through, accentuating the rhythmic design.

Architectural Influence: The "stepped" design is a direct reference to the brickwork architecture of famous Amsterdam School buildings like 'Het Schip'.

Condition : good antique condition, consistent with age and use. Natural, dark patina throughout. No significant damage or repairs. See all pictures to make a informed decision, the pictures are part of the description.

Historical Context: The Amsterdam School (1910-1930) was an expressive style of architecture and applied arts. Items in bronze were often produced by high-end firms like Winkelman & Van der Bijl or G.J. van den Bergh. This pair is a testament to the craftsmanship and 'Gesamtkunstwerk' philosophy of that era.
