Thanks for posting the ad. Never seen it.

I came across this forum discussion when I was looking for the designer and manufacturer of a wingback armchair I own.

This chair is oak with teak armrests. Pictures attached. Do you think this is a missing Madsen and Schubell chair?

@jbjonboy No, it’s not. Although it bears a certain resemblance. I’m sure I’ve seen this design before but can’t remember where it was. Maybe @lexi can?

@herringbone.You remember correctly ! @jbjonboy posted this chair in September last year.

We had no definitive answer then and I still have not got one.

@herringbone. Well at least one part of me is working well! I wish I could say the same about the rest of me 😆

Thank you both for your responses.

Yes I have posted this on another discussion, and still curious.

Good quality teak and oak and wool fabric and craftsmanship so I am sure it's Scandinavian manufacture.

I have been told that the designer of a similar chair was Arne Hovmand-Olsen and from other chairs he has designed I think this is one of his also.

Anyone interested in more ads? I dug deep and found some never shown before advertisments in Mobilia and Møbler. Seems they advertised more often than I thought. I didn't have the time to really explore every contemporary magazine in Danish Design Museum but the outcome is quite okay.

And then there was this nice ad. It shows that this chair was also produced in Denmark, which was hitherto unknown. And that it was called model 11.  

 

@lexi You wondered about that specific model number  some months ago because it appeared on the price list. Now that riddle is solved, too. 😊

Lastly not advert but a rare picture with the Clam in it. It's the same location as in the "Nordisk Staal" advert but a different photo. Its from Moebelfabrikanten, November 1946. There's not much info around it but it looks as if it was taken at the furniture fair in Fredericia.

@herringbone

Those chairs (model 11) look very similar to the "Dorte" and "Britta" chairs that @wesemael posted.
