Dating from the Late Art Deco period, this extremely rare and unusual pair of armchairs features dramatic hairpin arms and simple rectangular backs. The frame is solid beechwood, finished in a rich mahogany stain. Woven floral fabric and nailhead trim complete the unique look. This pair is attributed to the maker Fritz Hansen - though the designer is unknown - the chairs bear some resemblance to designs by Frits Schlegel and Magnus Stephensen which were produced by the company around the same time, but no record of this exact model could be found. The design echoes contemporaneous examples from the Art Deco era by Carl Malmsten, Jindrich Halabala, and Thonet. Dimensions: H 33" x W 24" x D 24" x SH 17" Condition: Wear consistent with age and use. Marks on frames can be easily rubbed off. B119
