Can anyone help ID this for me? Arne Vodder, Grete Jalk? I can’t find a match. There is a stamp that reads George Tainer selection and Sibast Mobler which I believe is the importer and producer.

@svv1182 Since according to the Sibast family Grete Jalk indeed did design for Sibast and since a seller on the internet was kind enough to uplode a catalog page with a very similar chair and Jalk reference, I would assume it's safe to say: Jalk for Sibast. Although I have to admit that my first guess was Vodder.

And here you have a match.

My guess is that they had some advantage in producing those armrests, maybe there was a design from Vodder already in production and Jalk modified the design slightly.
