Original Fully Restored 1965 Fritz Hansen Egg Chair & Footstool in Brown Leather

1940 - 1960
Description

Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this very significant, original fully stamped 1965 Fritz Hansen, completely restored egg chair with matching footstool

Please note the delivery fee listed is just a guide, it covers within the M25 only for the UK and local Europe only for international, if you would like an accurate quote please send me your postcode and I’ll provide you with the exact price

I have another pair of these listed under my other items, they are from July 1968

Where to begin! If you are looking at this listing then the chances are you know how rare and important this pair is, they have been on a journey of restoration which I’ll talk you through. The chair comes complete with the original Fritz Hansen stamp which dates the piece to January 1965

The original leather hide had faded back to the pre dyed colour, as such I sent them to my leather polisher who was trained by Ralph Lauren when they rolled out their “at home” division across Europe, Ralph taught him how to restore and colour old leather using traditional techniques.

This pair have been washed back and hand dyed six times, antique shaded then sealed, waxed down and polished again, they are now basically in perfect better than retail condition

The metal base frames have of course the original patination, I can have these professionally polished for the cost price however I prefer them as they are, it has taken nearly 60 years for them to obtain this colour and it would be a crime to strip it off

This pair will never come up for sale again, it is the only one set, if you are looking for the finest example in the world with the nicest hand dyed leather colour then look no further

The hide has multiple patina imperfections as you would imagine based on the age and use, this model didn't come with the seat cushions but I can have one made should the new owner wish for the cost price

Width:- 81.5cm

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1958 for the Radisson SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, the Egg chair is a landmark of Danish modern design known for its fluid, sculptural curves and enclosed form.

Authentic mid-century Egg chairs feature a moulded foam inner shell upholstered in leather or fabric, mounted on a star-shaped cast aluminium swivel base.

Authentic pieces usually feature a manufacturer label or stamp on the underside of the base, precise stitching along the contours, and a smooth four-star swivel mechanism.

An Egg chair serves as a focal point in living rooms, studies, or open-plan areas, pairing well with minimal architectural lines, natural timber, and soft textured rugs.

To preserve vintage leather, keep the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dust regularly with a soft cloth, and apply a specialised leather conditioner periodically.
