A classic chair in Danish furniture design history.
The chair has a solid oak wood frame and a natural saddle leather seat and backrest, secured to the frame by belts. It is marked with the original Fredericia label.
Each part of the timber frame is assembled with wooden dowels and bonded together under high pressure to ensure strength and stability for decades to come. The exquisite leather hides are 100% vegetable tanned and dyed in large wooden drums following ancient traditions handed down through generations of craftsmen. This meticulous process takes more than four weeks and creates a rich and beautiful saddle leather, which over time develops an extraordinary patina that cannot be achieved in any other way.
Due to the great proportions and well-sized armrests, the chair has a very strong appearance.
The chair is in very good original condition. A few darker spots on the seat, as visible in the pictures. This piece has an attribution mark,
