Description from the seller
Dutch Nieuwe Kunst Side Table, Attributed to Jac. van den Bosch, circa 1910
A wonderfully elegant Dutch Nieuwe Kunst side or plant table, attributed to Jac. van den Bosch (1868–1948) and dating from the early 20th century.
The table is modest in scale but unusually expressive in its construction. Four slender, slightly splayed legs rise above the circular tabletop, their rounded ends forming a subtle architectural rhythm around the edge. The legs terminate below in gently shaped, almost paddle-like feet, giving the table a delicate organic quality.
Particularly attractive are the small stepped wooden ornaments applied to the outer faces of the legs. These geometric details introduce just enough decoration without disturbing the clarity of the construction. Beneath the top, horizontal and diagonal stretchers form an open framework that is both structural and highly graphic.
The result is a table that feels light and refined, yet has considerable presence. It works beautifully as a plant stand, lamp table, occasional table or sculptural accent piece, particularly in art deco - and eclectic interiors.
The design is attributed to Jacob Pieter “Jac.” van den Bosch, an important Dutch architect, furniture and interior designer. Van den Bosch studied at the Rijkschool voor Kunstnijverheid in Amsterdam, where P.J.H. Cuypers was among his teachers. Together with H.P. Berlage, he founded the influential Amsterdam furniture and interior workshop 't Binnenhuis in 1900.
Van den Bosch was one of the important figures of Dutch Nieuwe Kunst, seeking to unite art, craftsmanship and modern production. His furniture is typically distinguished by clear construction, restrained ornament and carefully considered details, qualities strongly reflected in this table.
The table is in very good overall vintage condition. The circular top was broken across the centre in the past and has been professionally reglued by a furniture maker. The repair is strong and discreet, although the line remains slightly visible under certain lighting conditions, particularly in raking light.
A small but highly distinctive piece of early Dutch modern design.
