Izeren for De Genneper Molen around 1920 and carries the original maker’s stamp beneath. Model 301, documented in early Genneper Molen catalogues, is among Izeren’s most compelling designs - architectural, sculptural, unmistakably expressive and a little bizarre.

The form is defined by its dramatic inward-pointing, curved legs, creating a silhouette that is both unusual and beautifully resolved. The circular top is executed in quartered oak veneer, while the rim is decorated with arrow-like coromandel (macassar ebony) elements that underscore the table’s architectural presence and lend subtle graphic tension to the profile. The leg ends are finished in a deep black stain, visually grounding the composition and heightening the interplay of curves and verticals.

Crafted in solid oak, oak veneer, and applied coromandel detailing, the table possesses a surprising heft and material authority despite its compact scale - a testament to the artisanal workmanship that defined the early years of De Genneper Molen. It remains in good original condition, showing small, age-appropriate signs of use but structurally excellent.

Beyond its historical significance, the piece carries a sculptural clarity that integrates seamlessly into eclectic, character-driven interiors - spaces where furniture, objects, and textures interplay to form a unified artistic environment. Its expressive geometry makes it both an anchor and an accent. This piece has an attribution mark,
