Paul Kingma

Paul Kingma (1946–2022) was a Dutch sculptor and artist who worked primarily in stone, creating abstract and geological objects that sit at the boundary between art and design. His tables and sculptural pieces — built from slabs of agate, quartz, malachite, and other semiprecious stones set in epoxy resin on steel or stone bases — have become some of the most recognisable Dutch collectibles of the post-war period.

Kingma's work is signed and documented, and has appeared at major design fairs and auction houses internationally. The combination of natural material, handcraft, and abstraction makes each piece unique. Collectors Network features authenticated Paul Kingma pieces from specialist vintage dealers across the Netherlands.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I authenticate a Paul Kingma piece?

Authentic Kingma pieces are signed — look for the signature scratched or etched into the stone or base. Each piece is genuinely unique due to the natural stone materials. Provenance documentation, exhibition history, and a certificate of authenticity from the estate or a documented dealer significantly support value. The resin and stone combination is characteristic; modern reproductions rarely match the material quality.
