This is not an authentic SR Kilin chair, as denoted by the use of the word "style".
Can you please tell me how you determined this as some SR experts think it may be authentic. Can you please tell me the manufacturer?
In my experience, all of the SR chairs were signed; his style was distinctive enough to be copied by makers who tried to pass their versions off as original. There is no way of knowing who made this if, as you say, it is not signed.
Hello, can you please explain how you arrived at the fact that this is indeed an authentic Sergio Rodgeges Killin chair? The measurements of the chair do not match the specs of an authentic Killin.
Thank you.
