Circa 1970 Mid-Century Modern Leather Safari Chair attr. to Wilhelm Kienzle

About the Item

SCANDINAVIAN MODERN MAPLE & LEATHER SAFARI CHAIRS ATTRIBUTED TO WILHELM KIENZLE Circa 1970 unmarked brand new expertly crafted leather and custom machined hardware a pair to this chair may still remain available Item # 306YRC27L-1 An absolutely gorgeous chair made in the "Safari" tradition, this Scandinavian rendition of the popular easy chair is designed to entirely disassemble for easy transport. The form is almost always attributed to Wilhelm Kienzle. Crafted entirely of solid maple that moves from squared to a fine taper in the feet, the structure is built to last many lifetimes if well cared for. Note the expert leather work, which we just had completed for the chair to replace the worn canvas upholstery that was formerly on the chair. We also had our machinist custom fabricate incredibly cool and useful brass knobs for the shoulders to replace the simplistic "wingnuts" that come with the chair - as the tightness needs to be adjusted based on how you enjoy sitting, this is an ideal knob for adjusting your chair. We may still have a second matching chair available to perfectly go ensuite with this chair - and two more chairs are out with our leather artisan to have upholstered shortly, though the frames may not perfectly match this chair or its pair. ** NOTE, unless otherwise requested and quoted, the chairs will ship entirely disassembled to keep shipping costs down for our clients. This means some reassembly of the chairs is required upon receipt. ** Measurements: 29" H x 24 1/4" D x 24 1/4" W x 14" H to seat Condition Report: Vintage and likely original surface with stains, blemish and wear throughout as expected. Brand new artisan-made leather covering. Exceedingly good presentation.
