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 showing lovely grain patterning and rich hues ranging from dark cherry to golden honey, these carver dining chairs are wonderfully designed and crafted to allow them to project a captivating and sculptural silhouette when viewed from any angle.
Designed by Preben Schou without any right angles, these armchairs are a marvellous Mid-Century melange of curves and waves. Extremely comfortable, they feature statuesque, gently curving high-backs with extremely charming, rounded tops over elegantly contouring back splats, which mirror the natural flow of the rosewood sides. The magnificent wave-like arms are a real showstopper, their streamlined design hinting at Organic Minimalism, while the chairs are supported by sturdy and practical but attractive, round-edged tapering legs.
The super-comfy and generously sized, padded seats have been recently reupholstered in a super quality mottled cream velvety fabric, 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 even more so; to have a pair of rosewood carver chairs by Preben Schou is quite something. 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 upto 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.
