Art Deco Haagse School / The Hague School Desk and Bookcase by LOV Oosterbeek

About the Item

Unique and important set from 1920-1925. Stunning The Hague School desk and matching bookcase. Both these pieces come with the original LOV Oosterbeek nameplate and both pieces are in very good to excellent condition. There are keys to all the locks and they all work perfectly. The desk can be taken apart and the buyer can choose his or her favourite color of leather inlay. This rare set is made of blackened and solid (tiger) oak. This angular style, known as 'the Hague School', is for obvious reasons often compared to the Mission Style from the United States. This ready to use set is a dream for anyone with a good eye for stylish, rare, practical and impressive furniture. Again great value for money. Also, because perfect packing (in custom made crates) and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days are complimentary. Maximum width x height x depth of bookcase: 46.5 x 44.5 x 13.7 inches. Maximum width x height x depth of desk: 59 x 29.7 x 29.5 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1000+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.

  • Important Louis Majorelle Art Nouveau Desk and Chair, Bookcase & Filing Cabinet
    By Louis Majorelle
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Unique museum quality, 4-piece Parisian Art Nouveau office furniture set. As far as we know, this is the most complete, Louis Majorelle office furniture set that has been offered in the world in the past 50 years. Most collectors and enthousiasts will know how rare a set like this is, but what makes it even more astonishing is its condition. Apart from the leather on the back of the original desk chair, this set could hardly be in better condition and it would certainly grace any museum for applied arts. The only known office set that comes close to this original and complete set is in the collection of the MAAS museum in Sydney, Australia. So if you are looking for an original, great condition and very rare, antique office interior by one of the world's best Art Nouveau designers then this is your chance. We are convinced it will be the only one you'll ever get. Also, because the Majorelle filing cabinet in this set is the first filing cabinet by Louis Majorelle that we have ever seen. For this amazing set of four we have created three listings so that we are able to show you enough pictures of the many hand carved and hand-crafted wooden, bronze, glass and design details per item. Mind you, this marvelous and highly practical Art Nouveau 'desk' or 'bureau plat' (with original chair) is the second of the three listings that, together, show and describe this unique Louis Majorelle office set of amazing quality and beauty. Image 9 of this listing shows the complete set as shot in one of our facilities. Art Nouveau pieces of furniture by Louis Majorelle are like large sculptures and that can certainly be said of this striking desk and chair. A much more experienced antique seller...

For this amazing set of four we have created three listings so that we are able to show you enough pictures of the many hand carved and hand-crafted wooden, bronze, glass and design details per item. Mind you, this stunning and almost 8 feet tall 'bibliotheque' or 'library bookcase' is the first one of the three listings that, together, show and describe this unique Louis Majorelle office of amazing quality and beauty. In image 8 of this listing is a photo of the complete set as shot in one of our facilities. This here Majorelle bookcase is the largest and best condition specimen that you will ever see and the workmanship is as good as you will ever be able to find. The deeply hand carved organic plant motifs are simply amazing and these motifs are to be found in all four pieces that this set consists of. What makes this stunning and predominantly solid nutwood bookcase extra special are the inlaid geometrical patterns in both the door panels and in the sides. However, the most impressive and aesthetically special features are the mint condition art glass panels with the top quality forged and hand hammered brass details in the upper part of each door. These metal worker's details, by the way, are the same organic plant motifs as the hand carved ones in the legs and in the 'roof' of this largest ever Majorelle cabinet (as shown in image 9 of this listing). Especially with the doors open you can see the vivid irridescent colors that are in the glass art panels. Below these art glass panels in the doors are large and also superb condtion, beveled glass windows. All the bookshelfs inside of this work of art bookcase are height adjustable and all are in very good condition too. All three doors come with perfect working locks and each door has its own bronze Majorelle designed key (one key is original and we had two more cast). Finally, this antique and museum quality, Art Nouveau gem...
