"Old Man" handcarved chair
29 January 2021
Description

This chair is Oak and belonged to my grandparents who were Danish immigrants. I have recently had it professionally restored/repaired by Montalbano Furniture of Broadview, IL. You will notice that 2 of the pictures are from after the restoration and the others are from before the restoration.

Provenance

This chair has been in my family for as long as my father can remember. His parents were Danish immigrants, but we think it unlikely that they would have been able to bring it here with them as they were very poor.
