Pair of Gorgeous Grete Jalk for France & Son No. 118 Lounge Chairs - SOLD

August 5, 2016

We are very pleased to offer this rare find: a stunning pair of solid teak lounge chairs designed by Grete Jalk, produced by France & Son in the 1960s and imported by high-end retailer John Stuart. These chairs are absolutely beautiful from any angle and extremely comfortable.

Solid teak frames have been thoroughly cleaned and re-oiled. Original innerspring cushions have been re-foamed and reupholstered in fabulous Maharam Kvadrat Hallingdal wool/rayon (in an original colorway) designed in 1965 by famous Danish designer Nanna Ditzel.  More on this iconic textile here.

Fully signed: France & Son button with serial number; John Stuart button: each teak side rail stamped in gold with France & Son's "FF Made in Denmark".

In excellent vintage condition. To note: back leg of one chair has a chip at the bottom. Backrest of one chair has small chip. One chair has small gouges inside arm rest. See photos. Otherwise, age-appropriate wear such as light scratches and light paint scrapes.

30.875" w x 29" d x 27.75" h (frame) or 31" h (to cushion top)
seat height 16"; set width 22.5"; seat depth 19.5"
