A very rare and early (60s or even 50s) example of this model 2221, a chair of this vintage rarely appears on the market, one mainly sees imitations. This chair also has an Oak, as opposed to the more common and cheaper Beech, frame, which has a beautiful patina. The original cognac saddle leather also has a rich and lovely patina that only decades of use can produce. Only “blemish” is a small indentation in the seat (see pic #9), doesn’t go through the leather, merely cosmetic. Don’t settle for a cheap imitation -or even an Arne Norell’Sirocco’, cool but too common, go on a “really” rare safari: Børge M. Icelandic Sheepskin NOT included -but I would recommend one.
