Vintage sheepskin and leather and cane easy chairs attributed to Rohe Noordwolde

About the Item

Welcome to Valhalla! Very Nordic in style this pair of chairs features thick leather seats and backs, on bound cane supports with long haired Icelandic sheepskin throws – both throws are included in the price of the set. These chairs have been attributed to Dutch manufacturer Rohe Noordwolde who produced many such designs from the 50’s through to 1970s. Their designs are recognized by the quality of the finish as well as how the cane is bound together at the joins. There were known to be a number of variants of this design with either upholstered, padded leather, or as here, with the thick Buffalo hide. The thick hide provides a great counterpoint to the luxurious Icelandic sheepskin, which as well as adding softness and comfort, are also a great aesthetic match to the style of the chairs. They are in good vintage condition with no loose bindings or joints and you’ll note that one chair is slightly smaller than the other – I’ve shown this by placing them back to back in one of the photos as otherwise, in normal use, it’s hardly noticeable. The leather seats feature a lot of patina and some scars which in my opinion just adds to their appeal. Dimensions H70 x W58 x D64cm Seat Height: 35cm Arm Height: 54cm

  • 4 Vintage Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Knoll, MR50 BRNO tubular chrome dining chairs
    By Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Knoll
    Located in Highclere, Newbury
    A set of 4 vintage Mies van der Rohe Knoll, MR50 BRNO tubular chrome and black fabric dining chairs. The price listed is for the 4 chairs as shown. Designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe at his Tugendhat House in Brno, Czech Republic, the Brno Chair (model number MR50) reflects the ground breaking simplicity of van der Rohe’s design using a simple cantilever frame. There are two versions of the chair; one in tubular steel and the other in flat steel and the original design dates back to 1930. The metal was originally polished stainless steel but more modern examples from around the 1970s onwards were produced in chromed steel by Knoll International and Knoll Studio who have owned the license to the design since the mid 1960s. There have been numerous copies of the chairs made since their inception but the Knoll original chairs that were produced in the last 30 years have become much easier to recognise. As such, all post 1990 chairs...
