Recently acquired what appears to be a Danish lounge chair any help? Only thing marked on the chair is the rubber webbing marked Denmark and what appears to be a sticker that was removed.

It's probably not Danish. I don't know if American furniture manufacturers used Danish rubber webbing--I don't recall seeing it on any American chairs but that doesn't mean a whole lot. Yugoslavia produced Danish style lounge chairs like this and the ones I've seen in person were of a light wood that had a tinted lacquer finish to make them look like walnut, which is what i think you have with this one. Yugoslavian-made chairs are usually incised "Made in Yugoslavia" on the inside of one of the seat, and often the mark is very faint. Check with a very bright light shown at different angles.

The closest thing I can come up with is that it may have been made by Paoli chair company. From searching I found one on etsy listed as a Paoli chair. Images of the one I found that's very similar on etsy.

That sure looks like the same chair. I just saw a listing on 1stDibs that says Paoli Chair was an American company and I see they made a bunch of things in the Danish Modern style.

i had really thought I scored a Danish lounge chair, guess $65 wasn't too bad for a decent American made imitation.

I think you got a good deal. It has a more Danish look than many American chairs of that genre.

Photo of once I got it home and cleaned it up a bit.
