I think this is a wing back chair, and I think that the wood
on the legs structure is teak. There's some distinct black
wood grain in the legs when you look at it up real close, but
I think it would have to be more black grain than that to be rosewood (not sure, please advise). I have two of these chairs and the matching sofa. They all need reupholstering.
The removable cushions in the sofa have metal spring structures in them. So do the cushions and backs on everything else. I would love to know who made them. I've searched the web for a while and have not found an exact match yet. Thanks for any help you can give.

I've looked this one up...
I've looked this one up before and got nowhere with it but I doubt its Pearsall...I reckon its European. Its similar in some ways to the Wegner mama bear chair but is not a Wegner design.

looks very solid...
quality of teak seems higher than Pearsall.
If it's european, it probably would be danish,
as factories copying the danes wouldn't use that
much wood (is my experience)..

says it has knoll fabric, don't know if knoll's the maker.
the legs on this chair and your chairs seem to be an
exact match

Thanks. Here's a Little More Info.
Thanks all for the observations and advise on possible
makers. Each leg structure on the chair is fastened via
two original flat head screws -- i.e., left side legs is fastened with two flat heads, and right side likewise.
The sofa has very old Fagas straps that say on each strap,
" Fagas
Patent App.
Made in Denmark "
Each strap is either badly stretched to the point of
no good, or broken. I did not include a picture of
the sofa earlier; here's a picture of it.

Sorry I thought the wood...
Sorry I thought the wood showing up the front of the arms was part of the design, this is not the same as the piece I researched before. The one I was looking at looked similar to a mama bear chair....forget my comment about it being European.

Danish Pastry
If you mean that olive green sofa, all they say about it is that it's "Danish Modern", which is the name of a style, not a statement about country of origin. Doesn't mean it's not Danish in origin, just that they haven't necessarily identified it as Danish.

thanks spanky, hey arcemigor
thanks spanky. i never mentioned the phrase danish modern.
i was basing my own assumption on other company facts that they sited in the about section of their website -- facts about how and where they acquired their inventory. i know there's still a margin for error. hey arcemigor, I will keep my eyes peeled.

Not that it helps, really,...
Not that it helps, really, but i think i saw a chair like that for sale on etsy, though the one i saw had been reupholsted. If i find it, I'll post. You can always ask the seller if they have any clue as to origin.

Thanks Sillyrabbit
Thanks for your reply. Still no luck on finding the maker
through a seller -- but good advice. The Fagas straps on the sofa are very old and say "Made in Denmark on them. They've totally lost their strength integrity. You can actually stretch-break them very easily now and even rip-break them.
I'm wondering if Fagas straps back then (I estimate the 50s) were distributed in all parts of the world -- back when there was little technology.
