Ronald Willemsen (Nl.c20th-c.21st)
Sculptural little constructivist side table model RW1 side table. Metaform, Holland 1982. Despite its elegant light look it is actually quite a heavy set table (which like a cricket table is always balanced on any surface due to having three feet instead of four). These tables are a rare find and always sought after.

Willem Hendrik Gispen (Nl. 1890-1981)
Diagonaalstoel model 3b from Willem Gispen with aluminium frame.
A batch of 300 aluminium framed diagonal chairs were produced for the city hall in Hilversum at the end of the 1920s. The architect Willem Dudok wanted the furniture for this building to be ultra modern and aluminium was certainly regarded as essentially modern at the time.
The chairs were subsequently replaced by chromed steel ones that did not oxidise like the aluminium ones (thus appearing jaded and aged)
although we are not sure this one is from the Hilversum batch its a very rare find – very much a collector’s piece.
Price: 4.000 euro

Price: 5.000 euro
Hague school lady chair. Circa 1920s.
Oak. 60.5 x 64.5 x 65cm high.
A delightful diminutive armchair that we believe was designed as a lady chair. It is unusual not only by its small size but also by its striking modernist lines. This Dutch chair is designed and constructed in typical Dutch Art Deco style known as the Haagse School or Hague School style – a simple geometric constructivist style of the period. According to the previous owner this chair is a design by Hendrik Wouda but we were unable to confirm that. The chair is made out of darkened oak and seems to have its original purple plush velvet upholstery including the loose seat cushion. This chair is a true collectors piece.
Price: 2.400 euro
Large Art Deco coffee table. Circa 1930s/40s
131 x 86 x 52cm high. Solid oak with bespoke deep molded glass top (trapezoid/fan shape)
Unique early c20th coffee/side table with its original feature glass top that combines the robust qualities of the Brutalist style evident in its chunky wooden base with the elegance of the Art Deco style manifested in the pictorial glass top.
The deeply molded relief images to the underside of the thick glass top depicts two seagulls in flight surrounded by stars.
The narrower front than back of the table would make it highly suitable for particular spaces such as between sofas or in front of a curved sofa.
Provenance: The table was owned by a ship owner who was connected to the Holland-America line in Rotterdam and was passed down by descent through the family.
Price: 3.950 euro
