For works sold in the secondary market, COAs are frequently issued by authorized estates or foundations.

Eilers Interieur

Our selection includes carefully selected design classics from the 20th century. We offer a wide range of international period furniture from the great designers of that era. Our stylistically diverse portfolio includes exclusively licensed originals. The majority of our selection is largely in its original condition, but sophisticated restorations are also part of our repertoire. Our restorers pay particular attention to staying as close as possible to the original design.

The brushed steel frame gleams against cognac leather that's aged to perfection. This PK22 represents Poul Kjærholm's mastery of industrial materials. The leather forms a continuous sling between angular steel legs. No visible wear marks or structural fatigue appear anywhere. Kjærholm designed this mid century modern armchair in 1956 for E. Kold Christensen. The piece won the Grand Prix at Milan's 1957 Triennale. Full-grain leather maintains its original suppleness and rich patina. Steel joints show period-correct welding techniques. The minimalist construction eliminates unnecessary hardware completely. This example demonstrates exceptional preservation of both materials and proportions.

Collectors recognize the PK22 as Kjærholm's most successful design achievement. The Danish modern movement produced few pieces this refined. This mid century modern armchair appeals to serious collectors of Scandinavian furniture. The condition suggests careful ownership and proper storage over decades. Eilers Interieur selected this example for its museum-quality preservation. Modern reproductions lack the steel's distinctive brushed finish and leather's natural aging. The Oblist features pieces like this because they represent design history at its finest. Perfect for collectors seeking authenticated examples of postwar Danish modernism.
