Amsterdam School / arts & crafts console

Various items including (1) an Amsterdam School console/hall table with two drawers – The symmetrical form of the console narrows towards the front and has four amazing hand-crafted scallop shaped handles. The front of the two drawers has an elegant double wave sculptural form.

Inside, the top drawer has a green baize lining (once used for cutlery). This console seems to date from between the early to mid-c20th and is beautifully constructed from solid oak. We decided to leave it with its original patina (the top has a few light marks but otherwise it is in good solid condition). 100 x 46.5 x 89cm high.

(2) A monumental Dutch Amsterdam School floor lamp made from mahogany with double fitted lamps and an uplighter lamp. 186cm high and 71cm wide.

(3) A large alabaster abstract form sculpture circa 1970s attached to a pine plinth. 18.5 x 18.5 x 60cm high

All available: Console SOLD / Lamp 1.400 euro / Sculpture SOLD
