Interesting wegner chair on ebay  

.
Liars Liars pants on fires.

okay so its stamped Wegner, but what the? If itis , which I still duobt its one of his lesser efforts, must have had a hangover that day.

The
The stamp looks right........
and everything else looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo wrong .............

hah!
So I am not crazy! I thought that it would be more common to see a furniture maker's label not just the designers name on the chair... if you look at the additional auctions they have a supposed george nelson for herman miller piece of furniture - unfortunately I am really not familiar with his stuff so it doesnt scream to me fake like the wegner chair did, but look at the herman miller marking they show - it looks crooked and like a DIY job.... the strange thing about all this is that I never thought someone would try to put markings on furniture like this after the fact to mislead someone... I know how people love to put "saarning tulip table" on designs that are inspired but not authentic - but now are they going to start signing his name on the bottom?

I
I haven't seen this particular phenomena of signing furniture with a makers mark, but there was a guy a couple of years ago with a junior etching kit signing glass from T J Maxx with fake signatures !

Apart from...
being an horrible concoction of wood,steel and fabric, it is also a horrible falsification. Hans Wegner would never ever have allowed anybody to put his name on a piece of furniture this way. It is one of these sad moments when you find out that human beings not only have the capacity to prey on each other but also to do it in a stupid way.

do your part...
Report these jerks! Scroll all the way to the bottom and report those two listings for counterfeit goods so the auctions get pulled. It's one thing to keyword spam but to actually sign someone's name to a piece that's obviously not theirs is disgusting.

Reported
Reported, but in my experience eBay don't really care..
we'll see

I saw that chair on ebay too...
I was also highly suspicious of it. And regardless of who designed it, whoever covered it in that horrid fabric should be shot. That pansy-butt-ugly floral fabric does not work well with the danish modern style.

how to report
Ebay will take action if they hear from the manufacturer of Wegner chairs. I don't know if this is Fritz Hansen, but in case it is, this is their page about counterfeits (not that this chair is a counterfeit):

thanks -
thanks for reporting, I am not a member of Ebay, so it's good to know things like this can be reported - but Ebay doesn't do much about it? One of the reasons I have been reluctant to get into ebay is because it seems dangerous to me... maybe in some cases it is? With these blatant fraudulent markings and all. But thanks for the replies - hopefully the auctions will be ended.
