Been able to buy back these 2 lovely chairs from the estate of the Gentleman i sold them to 17years ago.
The wikkelso is not a problem but the other one has proven tricky. Had a few days to travl images, google, furnitureindex etc and found nothing remotely close.
The back is loose in the frame and has leather straps holding it to the rear legs. Seat is bolted to side rails so the whole chair can be flat packed.
Maybe you Gentlemen Jesgord or Leif have a lead or hint to help?
Thanks

It was made by N. Eilersen:

The only time I have ever seen that sort of bolt on knock down construction in Danish Modern was on a Dammand & Rasmussen table, coincidentally designed by Wikkelsø.

I found another Eilersen marked one after that on Lauritz. I am curious whether it is Wikkelsø. I am guessing it is pretty likely for a variety of reasons.
