AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Authentic Amsterdam School chandelier from the 1920s.
Characteristic are the expressive copper fittings with geometric cutouts (such as the triangles in the rim).
The copper has developed a beautiful dark patina over the years.
This type of ambient lamp was specifically designed in the 1920s as a mood-setting card-table lamp or for above a smaller dining table.
The shade is finished with a pleated fabric 'skirt' with a floral motif, which provides a very warm, diffuse, and atmospheric light. The fabric is still original and has a small blemish.
Dimensions: 95 cm high and 45 cm wide.
Decorated with the geometric saw-cut patterns and triangular Art Deco motifs typical of this movement.
The lamp hangs from sturdy, characteristic metal chain suspensions.
This specific type of lighting was often designed in the heyday of the Amsterdam School (Art Deco period in the Netherlands) by renowned artists and smithies, such as Winkelman and Van der Bijl.
Halfway along the central rod sits a decorative metal ring with triangular cutouts. It keeps the three suspension chains neatly together.
Wiring: The power cord runs up through the central rod to the exposed ceiling rose.
