A wonderful example of the highly collectible 1950s Model No. 182 rocker designed by Frank Reenskaug. This beauty is made from solid mahogany or afrormosia and has been fully restored and re-upholstered in glorious Maharam Kvadrat Divina wool felt in a light grey colorway that perfectly compliments the rich wood. Kvadrat is a Danish company producing extremely high-quality upholstery textiles in Denmark and the UK. The solid frame is in excellent condition with only the most minor signs of age. One arm has a filled chip (likely original from factory) as shown.

We are honored to offer this spectacular pair of FD-136 lunge chairs designed by Danish master Finn Juhl. Known as the ‘France Chair’, this sculptural design was first produced in 1956. It has many characteristic Finn Juhl design details: the seat and back are lifted from the frame and the armrests have the iconic paper knife detail, also found Juhl’s famous 45 Chair. One chair is labeled with the early France & Daverkosen medallion, dating it to 1954-57. The other has the France & Son label. We believe the chairs were likely purchased together in 1957, at the time of the name change.
Provenance: from the collection of a family who purchased a houseful of furniture in Denmark in the 1950s and had it shipped over to the US, where it remained in storage for many years. It was extraordinarily well-cared for, along with the rest of the Finn Juhl, Arne Vodder, Moller and Nanna Ditzel furniture we obtained from the same collection.
These chairs are in outstanding condition, and look as though they are fresh from the showroom floor. The original owners had a skilled upholsterer carefully remove the original wool upholstery, install new foam, and replace the original fabric. They are just stunning. One chair has a small area of mild scratches on the back leg and a tiny gouge on the left arm. The other has a tiny bruise on the left arm. Overall, these chairs are in incredible condition.

A gorgeous solid teak child's high chair designed by Nanna Ditzel (known as “the First Lady of Danish design”) for Kold Savvaerk, Denmark, 1955. Ditzel designed the chair for her twin girls, Vita and Lulu, born in 1954. It won the Lunning Prize for design in 1956. Wonderfully sculptural yet simple. This is an iconic piece of Danish design and is often featured in design books. Adjustable foot rest. Beautifully rendered in warm teak, early edition. This chair retains the original removable teak ‘seatbelt’, rarely seen on these chairs after 65 years.
This chair is in outstanding condition for its age and use. Provenance: from the collection of a family who purchased a houseful of furniture in Denmark in the 1950s and had it shipped over to the US, where it remained in storage for many years.

We are pleased to offer an elegant Knoll Pollock Arm Chairs with cognac leather sling and black seat. This spare and very comfortable chair was recently re-introduced by Knoll, and new chairs sell for $2,730 each. This is a wonderful opportunity to own an actual vintage 1971 chair at a fraction of that price.
(Please note that the black chair shown has been sold and one cognac chair remains available.)
Designed by Charles Pollock in 1960 and originally manufactured from 1964-79, the steel and leather ‘sling chair’ or '657', as it is commonly called, offers a refined combination of materials and finishes. The chair’s spare frame is polished chrome steel tubing and cast aluminum with a black-fused finish, producing a sleek and subtly contrasting profile. Heavy natural cowhide, carefully shaped to form the back and seat sling, is suspended on the frame. A glove-soft capeskin seat pad provides additional support and comfort.
Our chairs are in good vintage condition. The two shown here are representative of the overall condition of the collection. There is finish wear on the arms, some nicks and scratches on the leather, and a couple of missing end caps. All chairs are structurally sound, with wonderful leather patina, and truly comfortable!

This is the real deal. Widely copied by both 1960s period Danish designers and current furniture stores, absolutely nothing can compare to the meticulous craftsmanship, superb materials, and exquisite design of Mogensen’s original pieces for Fredericia Furniture in Denmark. Mogensen designed this sofa for his own home in 1962, and it is without a doubt the most iconic Scandinavian-designed sofa of all time. It is sleek and handsome, and very comfortable for everyday use.
Fredericia continues to produce this sofa today, and this model retails for $18,075. Although the materials have changed over the years, this 1960s/70s example has the original solid teak legs (no longer available) and high-grade aniline leather in rich chocolate brown. The seat back and arm cushions filled with goose down and the seat cushions are filled with a combination of down and foam and are very comfortable and luxurious.
This sofa is in excellent vintage condition with very minimal signs of use. There is a scuff on the right arm, a tiny nick on the bottom front edge, and other minor scuffs and scratches. The dust cover underneath is torn but can easily be patched if desired.

It is so unusual to find a true vintage Eames rocker that is completely original. We have not restored the shell, base, or rockers at all, only given the chair a light cleaning.
The rocking chair is part of Charles and Ray Eames’ 1948 collection of seating with shells made from polyester reinforced with glass fiber, a new material developed by the US army in the second world war. The seat could be attached to a number of bases, including a wooden rocker (RAR = “rocking armchair rod”). These chairs were produced until 1968 by Herman Miller, and have since been re-issued with polypropylene seats.
This is a wonderful example of the original visible-fiber shell construction, in very good as-found vintage condition. The seat has a couple of very small dings and scratches which we attempted to photograph.

Renowned Danish designer Jens Risom was an early pioneer in introducing Danish modern furniture to the United States, both through his early work with Knoll Furniture and mostly through his own company in the 1950s and ’60s.

A very hard-to-find design by acclaimed Norwegian designer Ingmar Relling for Vestlandske Møbelfabrik, Norway, 1950s. This model is named “Senior” and is crafted in mahogany, teak and brass. The proportions are wonderful and unusual, with the upholstered shell perching atop the delicately rounded, angled legs. And so comfortable!
