Adding to my beloved Erik buck dining chairs, I just acquired a bar he designed for Dyrlund along with 4 stools. Everything is in good condition, except the leather seats, which need some refurbishing.

Nice. Erik Buck chairs and these stools were two of my very first Danish Modern purchases 12 yrs ago. We still have our set of 4 stools. FYI - unless they were reupholstered at some point, I'm guessing your stools are leather-like black vinyl.

By the way, your Dyrlund bar was designed by Knud Bent, model #7710. Since there are many Buck stools out there, the bars they get paired with often get misattributed to him.

@cdsilva I guess I shouldn't be surprised about the mis-attribution - it seems so common. Thanks for the catalog pages! Do you know if there's a year(s) of production for these? Also, do you suppose the stools and bar were originally purchased together? The person I purchased them from indicated that their family always had them together since they were new, but of course that was long ago.

I'm not sure if the seats are vinyl or leather but the covering on the bottom does look pretty old. I posted separately about the seats in the repair forum.

The Dyrlund catalog I have is from 1968, but doesn't give the design date of each piece inside.

There is a good chance they sold together. Retailers in the US mixed and matched designs from Denmark all the time. There wasn't as big a concern to have a full suite by a single designer/maker. 

Another good example of this is Moller dining chairs often appearing with Gudme dining tables in listings. It appears there was a retailer that offered this combination. So clueless dealers/auction houses will now sometimes say that Niels Moller designed the table in addition to the chairs.

@cdsilva - Do you happen to have a catalog page for the barstools? I'd love to have a copy.
