The JH 516 represents the long-standing and fruitful partnership between designer Hans J. Wegner and master cabinetmaker Johannes Hansen, who built many of Wegner’s most important experimental and gallery-exhibited pieces. Only a small quantity of these chairs were produced and are highly sought after.

Very good vintage condition; cane in excellent vintage condition; some light nicks to legs.
