The workshop for ornamental ironwork of Winkelman & Van der Bijl, established by H.J. Winkelman in Amsterdam in 1910, specialized in the design and production of lamps and fireplaces. Besides their own design, they executed designs from various Amsterdam School architects. A large part of the ornamental ironwork for the Amsterdam Scheepvaarthuis was produced by them. In the 1920s the workshop executed clock designs from a number of artists. H.J. Winkelman himself designed clocks and fireplaces in this period as well.
