Monumental De Nieuwe Honsel Amsterdam School Ceiling Lamp, circa 1925

Description
A monumental De Nieuwe Honsel ceiling lamp from the Amsterdam School period, circa 1925. The striking architectural composition features four bell-shaped stained and enamelled glass shades supported by a sculptural bronze-toned wooden frame. Its rich colour, expressive geometry and warm atmospheric light embody the distinctive character of early 20th-century Dutch Amsterdam School interiors. The same design is illustrated in a major reference work on Dutch Art Nouveau and Art Deco.
