About the Item

Rare set of six chairs by Danish architect Michael Gottlieb Birckner Bindesbøll from the 1840’s in a very classic Pompeii style. Similar examples of this chair are displayed at the Danish design museum. Literature: Miriam Gelfer-Jørgensen: “Herculaneum on Zealand,” variant with different type of front legs depicted and described on p. 142 and p. 383. Michael Gottlieb Birckner Bindesbøll (September 5, 1800, in Ledøje – July 14, 1856, in Frederiksberg) was a Danish architect. He was the father of Thorvald Bindesbøll and brother to Severin Claudius Wilken Bindesbøll. Bindesbøll occupies a unique role in Danish architectural history, as he indicated other possible directions for Danish architecture, not characterized by stylistic imitation, already at the beginning of the historicist period. His works, particularly the informal villas, exhibit an independence that points forward to national romanticism and even modern architecture, but his early death curtailed the influence he might have had on the rest of the 19th century. Bindesbøll’s row house development, Lægeforeningens Boliger, is included in the Danish Culture Canon, and the majority of his works have been listed. He was born in Ledøje Rectory. He was a lively and bright boy, practically minded but without a sense for scholarly pursuits, which is why, after his confirmation, he was apprenticed to mill builder Jørgensen in Copenhagen. He became a journeyman and worked as such for a few years until, at Jonas Collin’s behest, he was sent to Stockholm in 1820 to draw a grain drying machine, about which he later wrote a small treatise. His interest in physics and mathematics had, however, attracted the attention of H.C. Ørsted, and with him, he traveled through Germany and France in 1822-1823. The desire to become an architect had long been brewing in him, and after seeing a great deal of art on this journey and hearing much about Pompeii from the German architect Franz Christian Gau, as well as achieving greater intellectual maturity and fuller knowledge, he began attending the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts after his return. He completed his studies there, earning the academy’s medals from 1824-1833, while also working as a supervisor for building inspectors Koch and Hornbech. At the Academy, he was particularly interested in Høyen’s lectures and Freund’s teaching. The assignment for the grand gold medal was “a Lutheran Main Church,” which he completed in a rich Gothic style, something new that caused both a stir and opposition. He received the academy’s large scholarship and traveled south in 1834, where he conducted diligent and extensive studies in Greece and Italy for four years. Returning home in 1838, he was immediately accepted and in 1839 received the assignment for his reception work “an Amphitheater in Antique Style, seating 1500 spectators,” which he did not submit until 1847, as the years 1839-1847 were spent constructing Thorvaldsens Museum and various private works. Meanwhile, he had been appointed building inspector in Holstein, assumed the position in 1847, became building inspector in Jutland in 1849, residing in Aarhus, and finally in Copenhagen in 1851. He was made titular professor in 1853 and professor at the Academy in 1856. He died on July 14, 1856, and was buried at Frederiksberg Older Cemetery. In 1845, he married Andrea Frederikke Andersen, with whom he had a son, architect Thorvald Bindesbøll, and two daughters. She was the daughter of seminar teacher Rasmus Andersen. There are, among others, a drawing of Bindesbøll made in 1849 by Constantin Hansen (at the Frederiksborg Museum), a painting by the same from 1849 (at Thorvaldsens Museum), another posthumous painting by the same from 1867 (in the Hirschsprung Collection), and an oil painting of the architect made in 1834 by Wilhelm Marstrand (at the National Gallery of Denmark). Some of his most well-known architectural works include: Thorvaldsens Museum, Slotsholmen, Copenhagen (1839-48, restored 1921-42 under Kaare Klint, listed in 1945) Lægeforeningens Boliger (Brumleby), Østerbrogade 57, Copenhagen (first blocks, inspector’s house 1853-57, expanded by Vilhelm Klein from 1867, listed, included in the Danish Culture Canon) Oringe Mental Hospital, Færgegårdsvej 15, Oringe, Vordingborg (1857, listed in 1945)

Jacob Kjaer set of 6 dining chairs Oak and original Niger leather, 1930's

By Jacob Kjaer

Located in Uccle, BE

A set of 6 dining chairs designed by Jacob Kjaer and produced by cabinet maker Worts Mobelsnedkeri. Each frame is constructed in a beautiful Mahogany with original patinated Niger leather seat. Jacob Kjær (1896–1957) was a Danish furniture designer and cabinetmaker. Kjær received training as a cabinetmaker in the workshop of his father who was also a furniture maker. After completing his training in Berlin and Paris, he exhibited works at the Barcelona World Exhibition in 1929. Characterized by simplicity, his designs drew on the finest materials which, unusually for his day, he crafted himself. Inspired by classical English Style, his clean, graceful designs are modern in interpretation. He did much to enhance the reputation of the Danish furniture industry as president of the Cabinetmakers Guild from 1952 to 1957 and of the Arts and Crafts Committee for Exports from 1944 to 1957. One of his most notable works is the FN Chair...
