Niels Moller Mid Century Modern Teak Dining Chair  

It is my experience that the minority of these chairs actually have a medallion. The early ones were unmarked and the later ones were marked with a stamp. Often times that stamp is faint, incomplete, and hidden under nails.

It looks right to me. If you can provide some more photos and the mark I would happy to look at them.

I would not worry too much about the authenticity of these chairs. If they were fakes, they just would not have a fainted "made in Denmark" stamp.

If you do a quick google search, you can see that M

Now that thee are more photos I can tell you the chair still looks correct.

Hello all,

Hi,

What is the name of the book?

Fristho

The Fristho name is very interesting and has answered a long standing question with me.

Many years ago I was offered a set of Moller 71's. When I went to view them some of the chairs looked a little 'off'. A couple of them had ever so slightly larger proportions than the other Moller chairs within the collection.

When I looked underneath they were marked as 'Made In Holland Under License'. I actually passed on the chairs but I wished I had bought them as curios as I have never seen them again since.

To the OP, those chairs look fine, I would not worry about authenticity.
