Wegner and produced by carl hansen & søn in denmark during the 1960s. Crafted in solid oak with handwoven papercord seats and backs, these iconic chairs embody wegner’s masterful balance of sculptural form, comfort, and material honesty. This early pair exhibits an exceptional warm honey-toned patina acquired through decades of gentle use, beautifully accentuating the expressive oak grain throughout the frames and broad armrests. The wood surfaces display striking natural figuring and rich tonal variation, lending the chairs an organic depth and character that only time can produce. The woven papercord has mellowed gracefully, complementing the oak with a soft, tactile warmth. Originally introduced in 1950, the ch25 remains one of wegner’s most celebrated and enduring designs — notable for its angular silhouette, floating seat, and remarkably intricate handwoven construction. Each chair requires hundreds of meters of papercord and many hours of meticulous craftsmanship. Both examples are marked by maker carl hansen & søn, confirming their authenticity and early production. An exceptional pair for collectors and admirers of scandinavian modern design, presenting with remarkable presence, craftsmanship, and beautifully preserved age. See less
