Product description
Dutch Art Deco period chandelier, Amsterdam School, 1920s. Expressionist piece with exuberant details such as multicolored lead glass, silk bangs, carved fruit wood, and ebonized and carved details. The chandelier is also shaped like an almond-shaped eye. The Amsterdam School (Dutch: Amsterdamse School) is a style of architecture that emerged from about 1910 to 1930 in the Netherlands. The Amsterdam School movement is part of the international expressionist architecture, sometimes linked to German brick expressionism. Amsterdam School buildings are characterized by brick construction with complex masonry with a rounded or organic appearance, relatively traditional massing, and the integration of an elaborate pattern of building elements inside and out: decorative masonry, art glass, ironwork, "ladder" spires or windows (with horizontal bars), and integrated architectural sculpture. The goal was to create a total architectural experience, inside and out. Imbued with socialist ideals, the Amsterdam School style was often applied to working-class housing estates, local institutions and schools. For many Dutch cities, Hendrik Berlage designed the new city plans, while the architects of the Amsterdam School were responsible for the buildings. In terms of architectural style, Michel De Klerk had a different vision than Berlage. In the magazine "Bouwkundig Weekblad 451916", Michel De Klerk criticized Berlage's recent buildings in the style of Dutch traditionalism. In this context, the Berlage Stock Exchange of 1905 can be seen as the starting point of traditionalist architecture. From 1920 to 1930, various parallel movements developed in the Netherlands.W 90 cm, D 55 cm, H 125 cm
