Definitely a legitimate A.P. Stolen chair, with an incorrectly-done reupholstering job. Multiple details are 1) paw construction, 2) seat framing shape, 3) 7 by 3 strap arrangement in that pattern, and 4) wedged tenon joint for the front legs,

I’m not sure if there are design revisions that can differentiate early to later production.

Thanks so much! The upholstery is for sure a real shame. My assumption was that it would be a bit earlier because of lack of marking. I think I read Danish Control didn't start until a little later. She definitely needs a face lift.

Reupholstering a Papa Bear is a complex process. Not having the original upholstery (or correct reupholstery) to use as cutting templates makes it even more tricky.

Can you elaborate why this is a poor reupholstery job? I've seen some that are very obviously bad, but this isn't as egregious as those.
