Found this beautiful chair at an Estate Sale and just could not leave without it. Does anyone recognize the maker? The bottom of the Bentwood seat back says "Back Made In Denmark". The seat bottom fabric has been changes and one leg caster is broken. I have seen photos of similar chairs but the legs have caps not slide casters. Any information will be helpful.

You will find them with and without slide casters. Also their is rocking chair version. Even with a good re-upholstery they still hold good value. You can replace the slide casters with caps
Nice find
The design reminds me a lot of the work of English designer Robin Day... maybe just the back was made in Denmark whereas the rest of the chair was made in England...
