Vintage dining set by L.O.V., Netherlands 1920s

Art Deco Dutch dining set manufactured by L.O.V. (Labor Omnia Vincit – Labor Overcomes Everything) in the mid-1920s. It was innovator Gerrit Pelt who founded L.O.V. in 1910. He wanted to manufacture furniture that was solid and stylish. At the same time he wanted to restore the craft of furniture making, just like William Morris in the UK, who started the “Arts and Crafts Movement”. Many other important designers worked for L.O.V. Like J.A. Muntendam, A.H. Jansen, C. Alons and of course Gerrit Pelt himself. This set is designed by A.H. Jansen. It’s signed with the company logo. As you can see, the table is extendable so that three sizes are possible. All pieces are fully checked and fully restored but the cushions need to be reupholstered. The extra leaves are slightly different in colour. Made of solid stained oak. Provenance: Piet Hein Eek H x w x d = 75 x 127-176-225 x 70 cm / 29.5 x 50-69.3-88.6 x 27.6 inch. Reference : 285108
