Henning Kjaernulf Danish Ladderback Scalloped Chairs

About the Item

Set of 6 Henning Kjaernulf dining chairs by Nyrup Møbelfabrik, 1960/70s. Portman Gallery is pleased to offer these elegantly proportioned high back dining chairs in oak with scalloping details on the slats and apron. The wood has beautiful grain and the seats have been reupholsterred in a navy blue bouclé fabric. The seats are comfortable. In very good vintage condition with minor signs of patina and wear. Scattered marks and imperfections. HxWxD 102cm x 51cm x 43cm. The chairs are unmarked, and as far as I can tell all of Nyrup’s furniture was unmarked, so the designer is technically an attribution. Purchased in Denmark, they are currently in Brooklyn, NY. Free hand delivery to the tri-state area. With thanks to H Gallery for the following biographical information on the designer: Danish midcentury designer and architect, Henning Kjaernulf is somewhat of a mystery. A lot more is known about his designs than Kjaernulf himself. His wooden designs, crafted to perfection, speak for themselves. Kjaernulf mainly designed for the Danish manufacturers EG Kvalitetsmobel, Nyrup Møbelfabrik, and Vejle Stole Møbelfabrik. The latter produced the designer’s well-known teak extending dining table design. The historic archives of the Danish municipality, Stenlille, reveal the history of Nyrup Møbelfabrik, mentioning Kjaernulf’s architectural designs for the company’s factory, referring to him as an architect based in Odense, Denmark.
