Midcentury 1970s Danish Brown Leather Armchair by Farstrup Mobler

A handsome, midcentury, cantilever bentwood chair in a warm, chestnut brown leather that hails from mid-1970’s Denmark and is attributed to Farstrup Møbler.  A light-weight, compact lounge chair that can work in the modern home as a standalone seat or partnered with other seating and sofas. Its fluid, ‘open’ design means it’s significantly less bulky than a more conventional easy chair, taking up less space.  And of course, vintage leather is a hard-wearing, practical choice too that gets better and more lived in with age. A smart, characterful chair that’s supremely comfortable, and we love those neat, little arms!

Description

This is an original, used chair that is ‘sold as seen’. It is in good – very good , vintage condition. The leather cushion has been cleaned and the leather nourished with a natural, neutral balm. The single sectioned seat cushion simply rests in place on the frame.  The cushion is in good order with soft, supple leather, working zips and plump inners. There are minor wrinkles and surface marks but these are in line with how leather wears through use and is very much part of its character. Please refer to our photos to get a good sense of this. There is a little loose stitching on the cushion’s reverse at the seams where the backing fabric meets the leather. There are no tears or holes, it’s just loosened with age and use. It doesn’t show as it’s on the underside. The canvas and strappings under the cushion are in very good order. The dark wood bentwood frame is solid and stable with only light surface marks here and there – please browse our photos. Sadly there is no maker’s label but this is a very fine quality, well-documented chair that we have acquired many time before and attribute with confidence to Farstrup.
