Approx. 23" long x 19" wide (feet) 26" w (widest point of back) x 13" high. Rattan garden lounge chair, possibly a Viggo Boesen or made in the manner of Viggo Boesen's "Fox Chair" for E.V.A. Nissen. Excellent condition. I would like to know if it is in fact as a Viggo Boesen as there are no markings left on it by "NISSEN" as I have seen in the past - but possibly the metal plate that had "NISSEN" on it has fallen off?? Was there anyone else making these chairs at the time. It has a sister chair that is taller and less iconic in shape. I may upload this one as well for appraisal

This is a vintage 20th century woven rattan chair that is made in the style of a Fox Chair by Danish architect and designer, Viggo Boesen (1907 - 1985). Though similar in form to the Fox Chair there are enough subtle differences in this form to deem this 'in the manner of' and not by by Boesen. Once this became a popular and iconic chair form, it was replicated by veracular rattan furniture makers and manufacturers; though without a maker mark, tag or label who produced this cannot be definitively stated. The estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary.
You are very welcome
Thank you, Nora!
