About the Item

An evocative example of early 20th-century Dutch design, this Amsterdam School adjustable stool embodies the sculptural boldness and artisanal craftsmanship that defined the movement. It captures the Amsterdam School’s signature blend of sculptural form and masterful craftsmanship, making it as much a collectible work of art as a functional piece of furniture. This piece would also be a very good fit in a Dark Academia style interior. Its slightly bizarre handcrafted design and historic character resonate with the moody, scholarly aesthetic of the style. Placed in a library, study, or reading nook, it would complement leather-bound books, antique lamps, and rich fabrics, enhancing the intellectual and atmospheric ambiance that defines Dark Academia interiors. Dating to around 1920, the piece features a solid wood tripod base with dramatically curved legs, each finely carved with a tactile bead-like edging. The legs are connected by an elegant turned stretcher, adding both stability and decorative interest. The circular in leather upholstered seat, with its subtly stepped edge, rises and lowers smoothly via the original screw mechanism — a testament to its enduring functionality. The Amsterdam School was a distinctly Dutch answer to the international Art Deco movement, merging expressive silhouettes with exceptional artisanal detail. This stool is a perfect expression of that spirit: functional furniture elevated to sculptural art. The wood retains a deep, warm patina built up over a century, with light signs of use that speak to its history without compromising its strength or stability. Whether used as a piano stool, side seat, or accent piece, it offers both visual impact and practical utility.
