Catalogue Note

Nico Schrier (1900 - 1989) was an internationally renowned stained-glass artist. In 1923, Schrier and his colleague Huib de Ru founded a workshop, Atelier de Vonk, in Haarlem, which received many commissions from city councils and public institutions. The lot here offered for sale probably originates from a public building in Amsterdam
