Hand-built in the 1960s, it features a dramatic, wide-sweeping "comb back" with hand-turned spindles and a deeply contoured saddle seat. The honey-toned finish highlights the natural grain of the solid wood (likely birch or beech), while the splayed legs and H-stretcher provide a sturdy, primitive silhouette. It is a perfect "captain’s chair" for an eclectic dining set or a sculptural accent piece for a reading nook.

This piece features an original "Made in Sweden" heat stamp on the underside of the saddle seat. The craftsmanship—specifically the wedged joinery and hand-turned H-stretcher—is consistent with high-end mid-century Swedish production houses like Nesto (Nässjö Stolfabrik). See less
