Sadly, I can find no maker/retailer mark.

Best guess, but not exact match, is Elias Svedberg, late 1940’s, for Nordiska Kompaniet. Based on smooth, rounded ‘teardrop’ armrest, similar geometry, scale, etc.

I’ve looked at:

Elias Svedberg

Svante Skogh
Wilhelm Knoll

Knoll’s Moderna

Soren Hansen

…and a few other Danish, Swedish, German and Italian designers.

No visible screws in joinery, with the exception of attachment of possible ‘aftermarket’ padded armrests.

Hoping someone can ID, and help close 50 browser tabs;) Gettin’ bogged down.

As always, look forward to, and appreciate hearing from you guys.

I did come across this chair, with almost exact frame, attributed to Svedberg, but the seat is different, and the teardrop ends seem much less ‘refined’, more squared off.
