About the Item
Ole Wanscher (1903–1985)
Colonial Chair, model PJ 149 – designed in 1949 by Ole Wanscher and produced by PJ Møbler, handcrafted in the 1950s-60's by renowned Danish cabinetmaker Poul Jeppesen.
With original maker’s mark under the frame.
Made from exquisite Rio Palisander wood with a hand-woven cane seat and original black leather cushions, all showing an elegant, natural patina.
The rosewood has developed a stunning depth and glow over time – the kind of richness and character that only age can bring, and when this precious wood is truly at its finest.
(The seat cushions can be refilled if desired, as they have softened slightly over the years.)
An iconic piece – Wanscher’s masterpiece – presented here in an original, untouched and exceptionally well-preserved condition.
