No labels or tags present, only a "196" under the armrest. Thanks for reading.

@tacobellmodern; I am no expert on Alvar Aalto, but a quick google search has shown this model was made by Finmar from the mid 30's and there were a few editions. I have found a few examples , both in catalogues and for sale by various dealers.

You should compare the measurements of your chair with labelled versions and go from there.

Image of  one with a metal label and the following measurements;W57cm x H77cm X D68cm
