Interesting (maybe beautiful) walnut occasional chair.  

Hey @marwood_, nice chair. Looks like someone had a partly successful try on a Finn Juhl like armrest. Think it’s an American production. Maybe @mark737 can do an image search?  

Thanks for  your input, @herringbone. This is a bit of a tease. It is the usual ‘could drop it from 4 floors, and still survive’ walnut American chair, with a bit of extra effort in design. Surprised, after 10’s of hours searching, it has not shown up. Hopefully Mark can chime in with some insight.

Always appreciative!

If nothing else, ‘partly successful try on a Finn Juhl like armrest’ gave me a near belly laugh…

Thank you for that, you (perhaps) inadvertent wordsmith 😉

(was intended as a compliment)

@marwood_ Haha, you're welcome. 

@herringbone @marwood  I agree it is a nice, maybe beautiful, chair and I did do some image and keyword searches last month and again today but did not find a match.   I thought I was getting warm when I found an Edward Axel Roffman chair with a similar arm shape, because it would make sense for a somewhat obscure maker like that to be responsible, but that too was a dead end. As always, I did learn about some new designers, such as Phillip Lloyd Powell and  Erwin Lambeth, so not a total waste of time.

Thanks for taking a look, and taking the time to comment!

The hunt is is always enlightening, even with the frustration of continual dead ends. Ultimately, I have this bit of curiosity in my possession, for which I have some appreciation.

As always, @Herringbone and @Mark737, your time and comments are always greatly appreciated.

Powell’s ‘New Hope Chair’ is pretty spectacular! 

Strange that the designer of a beautiful $15,000 chair has just slipped by my notice, all of these years 😉

Thanks again!

You are quite welcome.  The New Hope chair is beautiful but if I were in the position to buy $15K chairs, I might go with this Powell model.
