Origin: Denmark
Proof: Signed
Period: 1960s
Material: Teak | Fabric
State: ABT Modern Restored Customization
Condition Details: This exquisite desk chair has recently undergone a full restoration featuring new upholstery. The solid teak construction shows some signs of vintage wear such as nicks and scratches as well as some minor repairs on the legs (all of which can be seen in the detail photos provided). With that said the wood is in overall very good shape and the teak woodgrains are absolutely mesmerizing in natural light. The upholstery, redone in a fabulous mustard yellow velour, is in showroom condition and perfectly offsets the warm woodgrains of the solid teak frame.
This visually striking chair is incredibly comfortable, structurally sound and ready for a lifetime more of use. Please view all photos for details on this desk chair's current condition. We're limited on the amount of media we can post so additional photos and videos are available upon request.
