Hendrik (Henk) Wouda (Nl 1885-1946)

Oak wood with dark coromandel handles, ceramic interiors and black marble tops.

Pander & Zn., 1920s (company labels inside doors). 45 x 32 x 55cm high.

A rare pair of bedside cabinets (or nightstands) by the Dutch architect and furniture designer Henk Wouda (1885-1946).
The cabinets are designed in typical Haagse School style; a fine balance of applied form and weight – In this the Dutch designers were especially influenced by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright.
They are constructed from solid oak combined with contrasting darkened handles and black marble tops.
The cabinets currently contain their original period fittings, namely ceramic pot holders. However, should the buyer wish it would be easy for us to have them removed prior to sending in order to make them suitable for more contemporary storage purposes.

Price: 2,400 euro

This striking chair is a gem of ‘Haagse school’ or Hague style furniture is constructed from solid oak and with the typical straight high back coloured in a contrasting black. The seat is newly upholstered in a grey Velours d’ Utrecht, emphasising this chair’s sober and quiet luxury.

Oak wood. Restored/ with later upholstered drop in seats. Circa 1920s.


A pair of high quality Dutch Art Deco, Haagse School /stijl armchairs. These chairs could work well as two side chairs but would work equally well as desk chairs.

Haagse School / Art Deco settle / bench 1930s

Oak frame with drop-in seat and upholstered back. 103 x 59.3 x 102.6cm high.

A neat little bench in the Dutch art deco / Haagse School style. The upholstery is showing its age – It would benefit greatly from a complete re-upholstery (which we have taken into account when pricing it).

Price: 1.650 euro
