Just got this Rocking chair made of teak. There is no label on him but I know George Jensen made a chair exactly like this.
Dose any ony know how to identify if it is real or not. It was bought 1973

The wood shapes looks right...
The wood shapes looks right from the one photo available. There are many photos online from various angles. You should do a search and compare close up details. Your version has exposed screws on the side, which indicates it can be easily disassembled and was originally made for the overseas market (US).

Thank you for your help cdsil...
Thank you for your help cdsilva. I have searched and compered photos from the web. My only concern was the screws on the side. I didn't know they made special chair/ furniture for over sea market.
Do you have a link about Danish / European production for us market. Just want to educate my self. Again thank you.

I don't have any first hand...
I don't have any first hand knowledge about the Jensen rocker construction differences between the domestic Danish and overseas US models. It's more of an educated guess based upon manufacturing strategies at the time. Both France and Son and Selig (or rather their uncredited manufacturers) designed many pieces that disassembled for cheaper shipping. Many pieces do not even require any tools to assemble, yet are still very sturdy 50yrs later.

Probably far-fetched
But is it possible someone added the screws to "tighten it up". Are they completely symmetric on either side as would be expected from the factory?

Chair disassembly
Jdip: I have been wondering the same thing. It could also be determined if they are original to the chair by taking the out and disassembling the chair. Symmetry and the clear intent to hold the chair together with those screws would, at least, say that it did come from some factory that way.

Yes the screws are...
Yes the screws are completely symmetric and look very factory like not like someone add them later to strengthen the chair. So far everything looks like it is orginal. But there are not a lot of these chairs on marked so there is not easy to get resource info.
Thank you for all you help and sorry for my English 🙂
