Danish Modern Lounge Chair in Oak & Traditional Danish Olmerdug Wool, 1950s

About the Item

Wonderful large Danish Modern lounge chair hand made by a cabinetmaker in Denmark in the 1950s. Great dramatic angles and proportions with carved wooden armrests and legs made of solid oak showing great grain and patina. The armrests are beautifully sculpted and the original Olmerdug wool upholstery fitted with brass nails and woven piper is in amazing condition. This model is a well known design, but the original maker of the chair is yet to be discovered. In the style of Henning Kjærnulf.
