About the Item

A stately and beautifully crafted Wingback Lounge Chair, designed and produced by a Danish cabinetmaker in the 1940s. This exceptional piece showcases the timeless elegance and robust craftsmanship of mid-20th-century Danish design. Constructed from solid oak, the chair’s sculptural frame is complemented by gentle curves and detailed joinery, reflecting the artisanal quality of its maker. The wingback silhouette provides both comfort and presence, while the subtly flared arms and turned front legs add a refined traditional touch. The chair retains its original wool upholstery in a warm rust-red tone, creating a striking contrast with the natural oak. The deep seat and generous proportions ensure excellent comfort, making it an ideal reading or fireside chair. Brass nailhead trim outlines the form, enhancing its architectural character. This lounge chair embodies the Danish approach to furniture making — merging simplicity, comfort, and honest materials with understated sophistication.
