This chair was on eBay, it looks very similar to the Seal chair, but the armrests are a different shape and there appears to be a crossbar in the middle by the legs. Sorry the pictures are poor but these are all there were. I'm really curious if anyone can tell me what it is. And it's teak, right? Thanks!

Thank you! That is it indeed. I was going to bid, but it went over my (meager) budget. I'm glad at least to know that I correctly recognized it was something nice! The text of the auction said the chair would be great with a "new coat of paint." Luckily I don't think it'll be getting that anytime soon.

I have recently learned that Peter Wessel was a retailer. The details are hazy, but I don't think he designed or made anything, just retailed.

Yes, leif is correct. Peter Wessel was a retailer, based in Beverly Hills, California.

The chair was designed by Rastad and Relling, and probably made by their usual manufacturer, Gustav Bahus.

Thanks, they made some beautiful furniture, and their current website is pretty interesting. Offshore platforms! Who knew?

I'll upload vintage documentation of the chair once the attached image visibility issue has been resolved.
