Just spotted these online but I'm unsure if they are a copy or not, the timber looks to be Beech but the seller says they are Oak. they don't quite look rite to me but I'm unsure. No Carl Hansen maker marks only a pressed stamp in below photo.
Any help please.

They sure look like beech
to me. This is not a terribly popular Wegner chair, as far as I know anyway, so it's kind of hard to imagine that there would be knockoffs. Still, the lack of a mark is troubling.
The plugs that cover the screws on the backs are missing, too. But the proportions look authentic.

Thanks for that Spanky.I...
Thanks for that Spanky.
I think the devil is in the detail, the area where the arm meets the front leg is a bit off, on the Laurantz link you added the close up shows a defined recess between the leg and arm and on the photos above not so much but hard to tell without seeing them in the flesh.
Thanks for your help.
