Description from the seller
Pair of Sculptural Dark Wood Candlesticks – Amsterdam School (Circa 1920-1930)
Offered for auction is a pair of hand-turned dark wood candlesticks, distinctly crafted in the highly expressive Amsterdam School style. Dating to the 1920s or 1930s, these unique pieces feature the movement's characteristic architectural and geometric approach to design.
These impressive candelabras showcase the expressive and sculptural wood-turning techniques that define the Expressionist woodwork of the Amsterdam School. The architectural design features a striking geometric composition with stacked discs, deep horizontal grooves, and flared candle holders. The massive, bulbous base rests elegantly on three classic wooden ball feet—a signature detail of Dutch design from this era. Crafted from wood, the natural texture of the material adds immense warmth and character to the set.
