This side table, crafted around 1900 by the renowned firm Daalderop, embodies the transition from late 19th-century decorative traditions to the bold geometry and material experimentation of the emerging modernist era. Known for their exceptional copper and brass objects, Daalderop of Tiel was a leading name in Dutch applied arts, producing refined pieces that married artisanal skill with industrial precision.

This particular table is a sculptural composition in red and yellow copper, showcasing a warm interplay of tones that shimmer with natural patina. The circular top features a delicately embossed motif, while the fluted central column and claw-footed base evoke neoclassical references reinterpreted through the lens of Art Deco. The contrast between the reddish copper and the golden brass-like accents adds depth and visual rhythm, making the piece both functional and ornamental.

Originally intended as a display stand or occasional table in a refined interior, it reflects the Dutch fascination with metalwork as a medium of elegance and innovation. The craftsmanship is meticulous, with hand-finished details and a harmonious balance of form and proportion.

Whether placed in a curated salon, entryway, or gallery setting, this side table offers collectors and designers a rare glimpse into the early evolution of Art Deco in the Netherlands, where tradition met modernity in glowing copper tones.
