Danish Artist made Arts and Crafts Chair, Denmark 1890’s

About the Item

This remarkable Danish artist chair, dating from the 1890s, is crafted from ebonized wood and retains its original embossed leather upholstery, showcasing a perfect blend of craftsmanship and artistic detail. The chair’s refined design, with its elegantly curved frame and richly textured leather, embodies the aesthetic sensibilities of late 19th-century Danish furniture. Adding to its historical significance, this chair was originally acquired by renowned Danish ornithologist Otto Helms, the founder of the Danish Ornithological Association. It has remained within the Helms family for generations, making it a rare find with impeccable provenance. Helms was a prominent figure in Denmark’s scientific community, and this piece offers a unique glimpse into his personal collection, adding depth and story to its beauty. The chair’s original leather features intricate embossing, which remains intact and well-preserved, a testament to its quality and care over the years. The ebonized wood frame boasts a rich patina, complementing the overall timeless appeal of this collectible piece.
