Up for bids: an unrestored ROSEWOOD / BENTWOOD & LEATHER FALCON ARMCHAIR , designed by SIGURD RESSELL for the Norwegian VATNE MOBLER company. This design dates to 1970, and was originally issued with either a chrome or bent rosewood frame. The chrome was discontinued after just a few years due to rising manufacturing costs (though it is currently being reproduced, or so I understand), and bent rosewood was the only option from 1974 until the design was discontinued in the 1990s. Strong and lightweight, elegant and extremely comfortable, quite presentable anddisplayable - I have been using this very chair in my own living room for sometime now, and it always receives very flattering attention. This chair is very s olid and serviceable, in excellent condition. Leather upper cushion and armrests are in fantastic shape, with almost no detectable wear. Canvas backing shows light fading/discoloration to front edge and has two small wear spots on upper back (near points w the frame contacts it, predictably enough), but is very sound - none of the worn areas will be visible under ordinary circumstances, anyway. Wood frame pieces show only light wear to finish of exposed surfaces. Wood is solid and strong, free from breaks or cracks of any kind. VATNE MOBLER tag is clearly visible on underside of one leg (see pics). I have tried to provide as much visual information as possible with the photos accompanying this description; each photo shows this chair from a different angle. General information on this design is fairly scarce, however; please contact me if t is anything else you wish to see or know - or, conversely, if you know more than I do about it. This chair will be disassembled (easy enough to reassemble at your end, requiring only an allan wrench) and carefully packaged for shipping, in one very large box. Shipping will be via FedEx ground - I've found their prices to be very competitive and have never had a problem with their service.I'm also selling a matching VATNE MOBLER OTTOMAN in a separate auction this week - a pic of the chair and ottoman together is provided for any interested parties ... Combine the two, save a BUNDLE on shipping and end up with a very stylish, ultra-modern living room!I've seen these chairs selling for upwards of $1000 EACH, in furniture stores and on Ebay, as well as through other specialty furniture websites. 's your chance to grab one up for substantially less than that! Extremely low opening bid and NO RESERVE - bid early, bid often! I AM THE FINE PRINT - PLEASE READ ME! Bidding: International bidders - sorry, but I think it best if I only offer to ship this set domestically. Shipping cost would be astronomical, even if only crossing the border into Canada. Bidders with zero or negative feedback - please contact me prior to bidding, or your bids will be cancelled. Payment: Payment may be made via Paypal, US Postal money order or - for those local bidders who'd rather make an in-person pickup or drop off (to save a few bucks in shipping) - good old-fashioned CASH! Payment is due within *7* days of auction's end; if this will be a problem, please let me know ahead of time and we'll try to work something out. **NO CHECKS!** Sorry - "once bitten" and all that. Shipping: To anyone who has bought from me before, I apologize for this, but the rising cost of gas in the US (along with everything else) means that I have to raise my shipping rates - but just a little. I'll do what I can to keep things cheap for you! Winning bidder to pay shipping as listed in this ad. Shipping costs quoted in ad are for destinations within the US *ONLY* - foreign bidders, please see below. INSURANCE IS REQUIRED! Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs, unless I say otherwise (see 'Refunds,' below). Items won within a 7-day period may be combined to save on shipping costs. I'm NOT one of those dealers who charge $15 to ship a single comic book by media mail - I hate that as much as you do! My prices are both FAIR and very competitive. Ask me! **SHIPPING QUOTE ... read more
