This Art Deco side table in the Amsterdam School style dates from the 1920s or 1930s and has an oak frame with a thin, embossed rolled-brass top.
Description from the seller
Beautiful Art Deco side table, typical product of the Amsterdam school. The weight is almost 5 kg, height 62.5 cm and diameter 49.5 cm. The table is made of high-quality Dutch oak, still dried in the traditional way. The tabletop of the side table is brass with a brushed finish, which means it has been thinly rolled. There is then a very beautiful hammered motif with a variety of patterns. These motifs have an Egyptian influence with abstract elements. The images do not have a strong historical meaning, but were used at the time as decoration in the brass panels. For example, you can also find panels with Eastern scenes or Old European motifs. There are even tables with all sorts of Olympic imagery (related to the Olympic Games in Amsterdam in 1928).
The table was made in the 1920s or 1930s. This type of tables was often used as cigarette tables; the brass top prevented burn marks in the wood from cigarettes or cigars that had fallen from the ashtray. The table is still 100% original, with all original fasteners (see photos). It has probably been refurbished and varnished at some point, but this was done neatly.
This table is still in good condition with only logical signs of use. The brass is nicely bright; there is some tarnish. It can be polished to a gold-like shine, but that would remove the patina. The table can be used as a side table or reading table, but also as a plinth for a sculpture or simply as a fruit bowl or vase with flowers (see photos).
The table is professionally packed and shipped insured.
