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

Pepijn Fabius Clovis / studio (Nl.1996-Now)
Pepijn Fabius is a Dutch contemporary designer who makes furniture and objects which are on the edge of art and design.
Known for his use of ‘waste material’. These chairs are a good example of his design approach. The use of humble materials like left over wood was part of a project instigated by the designer at the start of the Covid years (2020/21). Imperfections are embraced, thus making each design unique – Some of the pieces are labelled by the designer.
Price (from left to right): 1.000 / 900 euro

Hendrik (Henk) Wouda (Nl 1885-1946)
Pander & zonen 1920s. Solid coromandel wood with velvet upholstery.
50cm wide x 38cm deep x 49cm high (seat height). Makers label to the underside.
A rare and important Dutch art deco stool by architect and furniture designer Henk Wouda. This stool would have been made as part of a special commissioned interior design.
After 1916 when Wouda returned from the war he established himself as an architect in Den Haag (The Hague) and a year later joined the renowned furniture firm H.Pander & Zn. It was there that he was given the freedom to develop his own monumental style inspired by the work of the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Sleek, austere designs such as this stool are characteristic of this Hague Style also known as Hague Rationalism or the New Hague School.
The stool is a rare find especially as it is completely constructed in solid coromandel wood. The grey/green velvet fabric and upholstery is a later addition to the stool that is fully in keeping with the authenticity of the stool (horsehair filling).
Price: 5.200 euro
