confused by my Finn Juhl Vodder Chieftain chair  

Oh,

A chair that I've never had the pleasure of sniffing under. And I want to.

Face up,

Aunt Mark

Any news on that chair? Still not for sale?;)

still waiting on former owner to get back in US so I can get provenance from him.

Paxto,

I am very curious how that wedge shaped piece is integrated into the chair frame, and if you get a chance to take a closeup detail of that area, showing about as much of the "horn" as in this image, I would appreciate it.

No "hush-hush", and I need another chief as soon as possible. (And it's alright guys, I'm prepared to dig deep into the pockets of my golden trausers;)

So Paxto, if/when you have made up your mind to sell this chair, let me know.

However, like the rest I'd like more images of the chair and if possible the story behind that horn (pictured) that looks kind of strange, was the chair damaged then repaired? Frame stable, other damages/repairs?

I wish you all a nice sunday.

Ha! I've only just revisited this thread to find that my recently dimmed view of human nature has got the better of me. For that I offer sincere apologies to those most offended. Leif's personal reference is good enough for me.

Hey goldiepants, nobody "needs" a Chieftain chair.

Tktoo, I really, really need one. Desperate for one! Hence the goldiepants on.

A Baker could do but old people in the states seem to sit on the ones out there, I haven' seen any a long while. Any rekommendations appreciated! Reupholstery work not important.

Paxto, get in touch.

Believe me, Doc. If there were any way that I could help bring and end to the suffering, I would!

P.S. You're not helping my outlook issue.

Actually I need a Chieftain chair, too.

Too funny, mgee!

Who knew neediness was contagious?

At least you haven't been reduced to begging ...yet.

I just want to sniff under one. Face side up. Before I die. Hi.

Best,

Aunt Mark

I find it hard to believe in this neediness seeing as I know that other chieftains have recently sold in very public auctions. I have to assume that said posters were not interested in paying auction prices, so I have to assume that the motivation is to see if it is possible to buy this chair at sub auction prices.

Well... the thing is that I'm trying to put together a set of six, you see, for my dining room. And the five I currently have around the table drive me bonkers every time I look at them, because I'm super OCD like that.

Is that a joke? You are using them as dining chairs!?

Probably not. When the dinner is over and the desert is past, and wine drinking has been drunk and it is finally time to sleep you just rock the chair back, back until gravity pulls it down and it lands on the springy horns with a little bounce, and your eyes they close...
