Absolutely stunning rare chair by Danish maker Finn Juhl for France & Son. This is the 152 model with original upholstery, single owner. The frame is teak and features incredible details like the swooped back, circular hand rests, and ergonomically designed sitting angles. The upholstery is a buttery yellow weave and wraps around every element a body might touch while lounging. The France & Son medallion denotes it is #6702024. Given that this piece is totally original, it makes an excellent collectors piece.
This is an early piece distributed by John Stuart, Inc. in New York as part of their 1965 Danish Craftsmen Series, which is largely credited with popularizing Danish design in the U.S. This chair, along with a whole Finn Juhl collection, was shown in concert with a limited 100 pieces by Gjerlov & Lind, Hvidt & Molgaard, Edv. Kindt-Larsen, Ole Wanscher, and Count Sigvard Bernadotte.
There are some signs of light wear consistent with age and use. The structure is totally strong and sound, no splits or stress cracks. The upholstery is in very good condition with one pull on the top back, and very small mars on the seat cushion and bottom of right arm. The back internal padding has wear consistent with age. It is totally usable as-is. The wood is in excellent condition with very light signs of wear, no major gouges. There looks like there was possibly a small repair on one arm rest but looks to be professionally done.
Dimensions: 33.5"W x 35"D x 36"H
