Dutch Art Nouveau Amsterdamse School Armchair by Lion Cachet, 1925

Creator: Carel Adolph Lion Cachet
Offered by: Goldwood by Boris

Description
Exquisite museum-quality Lion Cachet armchair, an opulent masterpiece meticulously crafted from the finest oak, macassar ebony, and rosewood, adorned with stunning wood-carved details that elevate it to a league of its own. This regal piece pays homage to a rich blend of inspirations, drawing from the world of animalism and the enchanting allure of the former Dutch colony, Indonesia. Lion Cachet, a luminary spanning the years 1864 to 1945, stood at the forefront of innovation in the Netherlands, boldly departing from the confines of conventional Neo styles. Driven by his unbridled imagination, an unwavering passion for ornamentation, and a profound mastery of materials and technique, Cachet pioneered a bold new style that left an indelible mark on the world of art and design. As a pioneer of Dutch Art Nouveau, Cachet's legacy is intertwined with the inception of the Amsterdam School, a movement whose roots trace back to the pioneering works of H.P. Berlage.
