2 Danish Modern Rosewood Carver Dining Armchairs Preben Schou Andersen 1970s MCM
A strikingly impressive and very rare pair of Scandinavian Mid-Century rosewood carver dining chairs in lovely vintage condition. A masterclass in Danish Modern design by Preben Schou for high-end manufacturer Schou Andersen Møbelfabrik in the early 1970s, this distinctive and attractive pair of armchairs will add stunning rosewood colouring, unmistakeable Scandinavian quality and craftsmanship, and a timelessly sophisticated, sculpturally elegant aesthetic to any interior.
Crafted from beautiful, excellent quality solid rosewood displaying lovely grain patterning and rich hues ranging from dark cherry to golden honey, these chairs are wonderfully designed to allow them to project a captivating and sculptural silhouette when viewed from any angle.
Preben Schou’s design is a marvellous Mid-Century melange of curves and waves, without a single right-angle. Even the wavelike ‘finger’ joints express immaculate flowing asymmetry, quietly displaying the staggering level of precision required to craft of these splendid Danish chairs.
Very comfortable, these chairs feature statuesque, gently curving, high backs with extremely charming, rounded tops over elegantly contouring back splats. The magnificent flowing arms are a real showstopper, their streamlined design hinting at Organic Minimalism, while the chairs are supported by sturdy and attractive, round-edged tapering legs.
The super-comfy and generously sized, curved and padded seats have been recently professionally reupholstered in a super quality neutral velvety fabric, which ranges from dusky cream to taupe depending on the direction of the nap of the cloth, and which works wonderfully with the rich rosewood tones.
Preben Schou Andersen dining chairs are highly sought after for their excellent quality and design. Their carver chairs are extremely hard to come by and their rosewood chairs are super-rare, so this pair are a wonderful find. All in all this is a fantastic pair, which won’t fail to enhance any setting with superb Danish quality, gorgeous colouring and an unmistakeable, knockout look.
We also have a set of up to 6 matching Preben Schou Andersen dining chairs in teak, which beautifully complement these rosewood carvers – please see our other listing for details or get in touch if interested.
