Lot Footnotes
After studying at the Rijksnormaalschool from 1892 to 1896 Eisenloffel joined the silversmiths Hoeker & Son, Amsterdam, designing mainly works in revivalist styles. Following eight months in St Petersburg, where he learnt enamelling and niello techniques, Eisenloffel developed his own style. In 1900 he became artistic director of the newly installed metal workshop at the Amstelhoek factory, working in his new style for the first time. The Amstelhoek factory was founded in 1897 by W.C. Hoeker (of Hoeker & Son), initially as a ceramic factory, the metalwork and furniture departments being later additions. Hoeker wished to produce modern designs in non-precious metals such as copper and brass; the production of silver at Amstelhoek was always associated with his family's firm. The factory name was derived from the telegraphic address: Amsterdam-Hoeker.
In September 1900, on the initiative of the architect H.P. Berlage and the designer Jacob P. van den Bosch, a new design gallery, het Binnenhuis, opened in Amsterdam as a retail outlet for the applied arts, with Eisenloffel among the collaborators. Eisenloffel's metalwork enjoyed wide distribution through Amstelhoek displays at het Binnenhuis, but in January 1902, he left Amstelhoek and het Binnenhuis to run his own workshop, designing copper and brass objects for machine production. In 1903 he founded a rival interior design firm, De Woning, together with W. Penaat, who had directed the furniture department at Amstelhoek.
