French Peacock chair, 60’s

About the Item

French peacock chair from the 1960’s. The peacock chair is made of woven bamboo m. Decorative carvings and in good vintage condition. Stabel and with very few traces of use. The chair comes from an elderly lady who bought it in France in the 60s. About the Peacock chair: While the origins of the Peacock chair are hotly debated, many reports claim that the wicker seat—characterized by a flared back that mimics the fanned feathers of the fowl after which it’s named—was born in Asia. According to Phaidon, the iconic piece “is likely to have originated in the Philippines," which explains why it’s sometimes referred to as the “Manila” or “Philippine” chair. Fittingly, the first photograph of anyone sitting in a Peacock chair, taken in 1914, is of an inmate with her child at Manila’s Bilibid Prison, where prisoners reportedly crafted and peddled woven furnishings on site.

  • Hans Wegner Peacock Chair
    By Hans J. Wegner, Johannes Hansen
    Located in Fort Lauderdale, FL
    A mid-century modern PP550 ‘Peacock’ chair designed by Hans Wegner in 1947 for Johannes Hansen. Modeled after a traditional American Windsor chair, Hans Wegner’s Peacock chair strips the form to reveal its construction while retaining aesthetic, decorative impact. The chair reveals a modernist approach to designing around the human body and using natural materials, with one exception. The “rush” seat is actually made of paper cord: when the chair was first designed in 1947, shortages caused by World War II prevented Wegner from using jute. Fellow designer Finn Juhl gave the nickname of ‘Peacock,’ seeing the chair’s flattened spindles and magnificent arc resembling the bird’s plumage. Dimensions: 41 3/4 in. H × 27 1/2 in. W × 20 1/2 in. D Seat: 22 1/2 in. x 19 3/4 in. x 12 in. at back Floor to top of seat: 14 in. Top of seat to arm rest: 10 1/8 in. Seat to top head rest: 31 3/4 in. Condition: Excellent, with some minor wear throughout. Gap between arm and chair back measuring approximately 1/4 inch. Some light water staining on both arms. Wood split to one seat joint measuring 3/8 and 5/8 inches on either side. Four deeper scratches on back. Area of staining on bottom chair rung measuring 2 3/4 inches long. Chair back’s fifth spindle from right with wood chip measuring 1 inch long. Chair back’s sixth spindle from left loose. Literature: 40 years of Danish furniture design: 1947-1956, ed. Grete Jalk, vol. 3 (Copenhagen: Lindhardt og Ringhof, 1987), pp. 15-17. Arne Karlsen...
