About the Item

Made in the 1950s, this Danish wingback armchair takes after the elegant designs of Alfred Christensen, founder of Slagelse Møbelværk. The frame, arms, and legs are mahogany, while the upholstery is a woven fabric with rope trims. Like the well-crafted furniture produced by Christensen, this chair is characterized by soft lines and curves, and by carved details such as the rolled arms. The woven fabric is noteworthy for its textured floral pattern and gray-eggplant color. Dimensions: 29 in. width 33 in. depth (with arch from wall) 32 in. height 24 in. arm height 14.5 in. seat height 18 in. seat width 20 in. seat depth Condition notes: This chair is a good candidate for re-upholstery work, but presents well and is in overall good shape. Minor surface wear to wood armrests and legs, and to upholstery.

Alfred Christensen Upholstered Armchair for Slagelse Møbelfabrik, Denmark 1940s

Alfred Christensen Upholstered Armchair for Slagelse Møbelfabrik, Denmark 1940s

By Alfred Christensen

Located in Utrecht, NL

Danish Modern focused more on the aesthetics of modern design whilst employing the exquisite technique and material familiarity of highly skilled craftsmen known as cabinetmakers. Alfred Christensen’s present armchair in this style is a rare and exquisite example of this. Clean and pure lines define this armchair that are coupled with expert craftsmanship and delicate research into proportions, materials and the requirements of the human body, adapting design to modern-day needs.
