The pegs / stems at the backrest are made of bambu and the seat cushion is held up with a rattan bottom. Designed by Swedish / German designer Otto Schulz for his own firm BOET that was producing furniture from the mid 1930s up until 1950 in Gothenburg, Sweden. He was also an often hired interior decorator and was always providing watercolour sketches of the interiors he designed for his clients. All those sketches are now in the collection of Röhsska Museet in Gothenburg and it is on one of those sketches called "Vardagsrum för Herr Knut Hultén" (Living room for Mr Knut Hultén) that we find this model of chair in the foreground. Overall in a very good vintage condition with light ware consistent with age and use. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
