Seller's Notes:Overview This Hans J. Wegner CH23 Dining Chair exemplifies the enduring appeal of Danish Modern furniture, pairing a warm oak frame with a handwoven paper-cord seat and a beautifully considered sculptural form. Designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1950 and manufactured by Carl Hansen & Son, the chair reflects the refined simplicity and craftsmanship associated with Scandinavian Modern design. The chair features a gracefully curved backrest, warm natural oak tones, and a woven paper-cord seat that adds visual texture and an understated organic character. The underside bears a manufacturer's stamp reading “Designed by Hans J. Wegner” and “Made in Denmark by Carl Hansen & Son,” providing important identification evidence. Design & Craftsmanship The CH23 is distinguished by its combination of sculptural woodwork and traditional woven construction. Its oak frame has softly rounded and curved elements, while the woven paper-cord seat introduces a natural textural contrast against the wood. The rear of the chair showcases the characteristic cross-shaped wood inlays associated with the CH23 design. The woven paper-cord construction extends across the seat and back, emphasizing the handcrafted character of this Danish Modern dining chair. Notable design details include • Hans J.
