Rare Amsterdamse School Standing Lamp by Louis Bogtman
Louis Bogtman (1900-1969)
Atelier Bogtman
period: 1920s
origin: The Netherlands
dimensions (cm): h202 x w69 x d69 cm
dimensions (inch): h79,53 x w27,17 x d27,17 in
material: wood, new linen shade
Truly monumental, both in size and presence, this collector’s piece by Louis Bogtman is a rare example of Amsterdamse School design — a movement deeply influenced by Indonesian culture, shaped by the (not uncontroversial) ties between Indonesia and the Netherlands at the time.
Bogtman, who was awarded a silver medal at the 1925 World Expo in Paris, is still recognized for his museum-quality craftsmanship, and his work is held in prestigious museum collections. One hundred years later this particular lamp by his hand continues to be an absolute showstopper. The original shade has been replaced, but the batik technique used to stain the wood base remains unabatedly exquisite.
Rewired with a new socket and plug, according to European standards.
