Utö chairs, set of eight

made by Nordiska Kompaniet Verkstäder, Sweden, c. 1930

material pine

size 18 ¼ w × 18 d × 31 ½ h in

condition All examples exhibit general wear, small impressions and thin abrasions, typical of average use over time. The finish varies, some with a matte finish and others with a clear-coat gloss. One example has a repair to the underside on its back leg. Most legs have a small amount of play, but are stable and ready for use. Overall this group of chairs is in very good vintage condition.
