1966 Rare Series 4700 Chair by Arne Jacobsen for Fritz Hansen in New Cognac Leather
This is a Model 4700 Easy Chair, initially designed by Arne Jacobsen for Fritz Hansen in 1965. This example was produced in Denmark in ca. 1966. It features a solid beech frame and has been newly reupholstered in a fine cognac leather. It has exposed mortise and tenon joints on the edges of the arms, as well as under the seat of the piece. The cognac leather jives beautifully with the patinated frame, which we have intentionally left in its original condition. If desired, we can have the frame fully refinished for an additional charge. This is a very rare chair to find, especially within the US.
This chair measures 42 inches deep, 42 inches wide, and 27.5 inches high. It has a seat height of 17 inches. The frame shows scrapes and scuffs, and the bottoms of the legs show some darkening of the wood. The upholstery is brand new and seemingly pristine. Overall, this chair is in very good condition.
