Iconic ‘Peacock’ Chair Model JH-550 designed by architect and designer Hans J. Wegner in 1947 and produced by cabinet maker Johannes Hansen in Denmark. Inspired by a traditional English Windsor Chair, the Peacock chair is one of Wegner’s finest examples of his visually imposing design ideas and aesthetics. The frame is crafted in ash and oak wood with solid teak armrests and a seat with a new braided rush chord. The name “Peacock” chair was given by his colleague, Finn Juhl, who associated the back-rest spindles with a peacock appearance pointing out the organic attributes of the design.  This chair has been professionally refinished by our skilled craftsmen maintaining the core of Wegner’s original design and would make the ideal focal point for any modern interior.

The Restoration Record

Everything we touched, and everything we left alone

Sixty-four hours of bench time by two craftsmen in our Hyperion Avenue workshop. Period-correct methods and materials throughout.

Frame fully disassembled, joints cleaned of old glue and re-set with hide glue. One rear stretcher replaced with salvaged period teak, grain-matched.
Stripped by hand, sanded through 120/180/240/320 grit, then three coats of Danish oil cut back between coats. No lacquer, no filler, no stain.
New jute webbing over the original beech rails; horsehair and natural latex pad; Kvadrat wool bouclé in undyed oat.
Maker's stamp, original brass fittings and the patina on the arm caps, the marks that prove the piece lived.
