Description from the seller
Dutch Art Deco Hexagonal Brass-Top Accent Table, 1920s
A wonderfully unusual Dutch Art Deco accent table, most probably dating from the 1920s, combining the handcrafted character of the Arts & Crafts movement with the geometric language of the Amsterdam School and Viennese Secession.
The hexagonal wooden top is completely covered with brass, carefully folded around its edges. The brass is decorated with a remarkable geometric composition, radiating symmetrically from the centre in a network of angular lines, stepped forms and abstract motifs.
The base is equally distinctive. Three slightly splayed dark wooden legs support the top, each divided by deep horizontal notches into a sequence of geometric sections.
There is a definite Wiener Werkstätte and Vienna Secession feeling to the combination of precious metal, dark wood and disciplined geometric ornament, yet comparable brass-topped tables are also documented within Dutch Amsterdam School furniture of the 1920s,.
The brass has developed a warm, naturally aged surface with small marks and variations consistent with age, which suits the handcrafted nature of the piece particularly well.
A small table, but one with a lot of character.
Dimensions: H 46 × W 39 × D 39 cm | H 18.1 × W 15.4 × D 15.4 in
