Hi there,
I purchased this egg chair recently and the owner could not provide any details of it's history since she herself was gifted the chair years before. I must confess that while i love the look of the egg chair, i know nothing about it so i'm hoping someone can help me determine it's value.
I did some research and many of the markers seem to fit.
These are some of the things i know:
it has no labels
it does not tilt
the fabric could best be described as a tweed/wool
I will attach some photos and really hope someone can help me.

Gloz,
If you know nothing about the chair, then know this...the manufacturer knows more than you. Contact Fritz Hansen.

Hi Gloz,
this is my evaluation:
the shape of the base looks like a second version shape.
the shape of the first version (don´t know when they´ve changed 1990?) base is different, like a cross.
the second version should be labeled as the first image show (label at the seat and cushion). If not: than it´s a new upholstery or a copy! the shape is a bit "chubby" and looks slimmer usually. argument for both.
the stitching is no indication because it´s a common technique and is made by hand at FH.
could be done better if original FH. tilt is just an option no must.
my impression is that of a copy (if = than a good looking one).
and niceguy is right. FH is very helpfull with any questions!

Thank you for taking the time to respond to me Marcellus.
I agree that it is likely a reproduction. I have sent FH a message.
best
