AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Dutch Art Deco Umbrella or Cane Stand by NEMI Steenwijk, circa 1930
A striking Dutch Art Deco umbrella or cane stand by NEMI Steenwijk, executed in warm-toned wood with metal tubular steel and subtle black accents. This is a wonderfully modernist hallway piece that brings together several of the most interesting Dutch design currents of the interwar years: some Amsterdam School because of the ball feet, the clean architectural restraint of the Hague School, and the tubular clarity associated with Bauhaus design.
The overall silhouette is simple and functional, yet softened by the details. The rounded top corners, the half-moon cut-out, the black-stained accents, and especially the ball feet give it a distinctly Dutch character. Those ball feet lend the piece a subtle Amsterdam School note. The bent metal rail, by contrast, introduces a more industrial, Bauhaus-like line, while the wooden body keeps the whole composition grounded.
It is exactly the kind of object that elevates an entrance hall: compact, useful, and visually strong without demanding too much space.
Marked to the reverse NEMI Steenwijk and numbered.The stand remains in very good condition, with light wear consistent with careful use and age.
A rare and elegant modernist hallway piece, full of quiet character and excellent proportion.
