Early 20th Century Architect Armchair by Jens Møller Jensen, Denmark, circa 1910

About the Item

A rare and architecturally significant armchair designed by Jens Møller Jensen around 1910 for the Hovedstadens Forskønnelses Boardroom in Denmark. This striking piece exemplifies early 20th-century Danish design, blending classicism with modernist influences, foreshadowing the later evolution of Scandinavian furniture. Crafted from solid wood, the chair features an elegantly curved backrest with contrasting black-lacquered details, including sculptural elements on the back splats and arm supports. The gracefully extended armrests and structured frame emphasize Jensen’s refined approach to furniture design. The seat is upholstered in black fabric with brass nailhead trim, creating a sophisticated contrast to the warm wood tones. A similar chair is featured in Møbler med mening by Miriam Gelfer-Jørgensen, further cementing its place in Danish design history. An exceptional piece, perfect for collectors, design enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a unique and storied statement chair. Provenance: Originally designed for the boardroom of Hovedstadens Forskønnelses, Denmark, circa 1910. Literature: A similar model is documented in Møbler med mening by Miriam Gelfer-Jørgensen.
