Armchair with Vienna cane weaving by Frits Schlegel

About the Item

Stunning armchair with armrests, featuring Vienna straw caning, The chair has a frame made of lacquered cherrywood and a seat and backrest with Vienna cane weaving, equipped with armrests. The extended back legs flow seamlessly into rounded armrests, forming a unique angular silhouette. The construction is robust, with stretchers connecting the legs and added reinforcement behind the backrests. We have a second chair in stock that needs restoration, including new caning. This piece has slightly different dimensions and may be from an earlier production year. Please feel free to contact us with any questions. Frits Schlegel (1896–1965), a Danish Functionalist architect, was instrumental in bridging traditional craftsmanship with emerging industrial construction methods. His furniture designs continue to receive international acclaim.
