More information

The model was originally designed in 1899 by Ferdinand Boberg for the Swedish Prince Eugen's residence at 'Arvfurstens palats' in the centre of Stockholm. Later they were moved to his new residence, designed by Ferdinand Boberg as well, 'Waldemarsudde' in Stockholm (1903- 1905).
This actual set of chairs was supposedly ordered by the Swedish family "Tham" but for some reason they never left the carpentry in Värmland.
