Amsterdam School Stained Glass Sconce, Holland ca. 1920–25 – Art Deco Collection
Offered here is a single, dramatic stained glass sconce for sale crafted in the Netherlands circa 1920–25 in the tradition of the Amsterdam School of Design. Originally mounted on the exterior of a period Dutch building, this rare architectural fixture has been fully restored. The hand-forged iron framework has been brought back to pristine condition, and the vibrant stained glass has been carefully cleaned, preserved, and completed in authentic period style.
The sconce’s defining feature is its hand-cut glasswork in a palette of deep amber, moss green, ruby red, and smoky opal. These richly colored panels glow with warmth when lit, and display the expressive asymmetry that characterizes the Amsterdam School’s anti-industrial ethos. The rhythmic geometry and painterly quality of the design transform this light into a luminous sculptural object. It works beautifully in a variety of settings, from historic interiors to modern spaces seeking a bold visual statement rooted in early 20th-century European design.
This single sconce stands on its own as a collector’s piece or can be paired with other complementary fixtures from the same acquisition.
