Beautifully constructed from richly figured solid rosewood, these chairs feature the iconic sculptural hourglass backrest, elegant button-tufted upholstery, and gracefully curved sled-style legs that have made this model increasingly sought after among collectors and interior designers alike.

The original woven upholstery remains remarkably well preserved, displaying a warm neutral palette accented with subtle woven earth-tone detailing that complements the depth and richness of the rosewood frames beautifully. Their generous proportions and ergonomic design provide exceptional comfort while maintaining the clean architectural lines characteristic of Danish furniture from this period.
