Designed in 1955 by Arne Jacobsen, the Series 7 was a technological successor to the 'Ant' chair, utilizing updated steam-bending techniques to create a more stable and aesthetically cohesive shell. Although millions have been produced, Fritz Hansen maintains exclusive production rights. This specific example features the circular plastic shock-and-connector housing that replaced the metal triangular plates used in early production versions. Read full story ## COLLECTOR NOTES 1 The Series 7 remains the best-selling chair in the history of the Fritz Hansen company with over 5 million units sold globally since 1955. ## SCARCITY Ordinary 40-55% Common Legendary Standard antiques commonly found at estate sales and flea markets. Plentiful supply meets modest demand. Rarity 3/10. Curiosa currently catalogues 29 interior items at rarity 3 or higher. ### Typical Characteristics - Moderate production runs - Common at estate sales - Entry-level collectibles ### AUTHENTICITY CONFIDENCE Very High (85% confidence) #### Confidence Factors - Manufacturer mark 'BY FRITZ HANSEN' and 'MADE IN DENMARK' embossed in plastic housing is consistent with authentic production - Construction geometry of the seat-to-back transition matches Jacobsen's specific curves - Leg cap and spacer design is consistent with late 20th-century Fritz Hansen standards [How does authenticity detection work?](/fake-art-detection) ## DESIGN HISTORIAN'S TAKE Furniture Historian & Restoration Specialist Furniture Expert Identification is high due to the clear presence of the manufacturer's mark on the under-cap and the distinct silhouette which is difficult to replicate with precision in knock-offs. ### KEY EVIDENCE - 1 Authentic 'Made in Denmark' and 'By Fritz Hansen' embossed underside mark - 2 Shell thickness and curve radius consistent with steam-bent plywood prototypes - 3 Standard chrome tube gauge and weld points at the junction housing - 4 Presence of age-consistent oxidation on the chrome supports ### UNCERTAINTIES - • Slight yellowing of the white lacquer may indicate UV exposure or non-original refinishing, though likely just age. ### WHAT WOULD IMPROVE CERTAINTY - → Examine the very bottom of the leg feet; authentic versions usually feature a specific black plastic or rubber glide with a slight internal curve. - → Measure seat height; standard is approximately 43 cm, though 46 cm versions exist for modern table heights. COLLECTOR GLOSSARY (2 terms) ## CONDITION & GRADE Good ### Grading breakdown Structural integrity appears sound; value is slightly tempered by visible surface wear and oxidation on the lower legs. ### Condition Minor surface scuffing visible on the seat shell and slight oxidation pitting appearing on the chrome legs. The plastic under-cap is intact without visible stress fractures, a common site of failure in older units. ### Weight & feel Approximately 4 kg, characterized by a lightweight but rigid construction typical of Danish teak and plywood engineering. ## DESIGN MARKET VALUE $250 - $450 Updated: May 11, 2026 How we estimate value ### Who buys this Mid-century modern enthusiasts and interior designers specializing in Scandinavian aesthetics. ### What increases value - • Presence of authentic Fritz Hansen embossing - • Originality of the white lacquer finish - • Structural stability of the shell-to-base connection ### What lowers value - • Visible pitting on chrome reduces value for pristine collectors - • Potential fine cracks at the 'waist' of the chair where bending stress is highest ### What makes top-tier examples - • Rare wood veneers like Rio Rosewood (pre-CITES) - • Early metal-plate production models from the late 1950s ### Grade & condition Surface scuffs, lacquer chips, leg oxidation, and shell flexibility. ### Rarity & demand Ordinary High demand Sells quickly [Browse similar interior objects](/archive/interior) For informational purposes only, not a formal appraisal. ## FROM THE CABINET OF [BA ](/cabinet/bagi) [ ### bagi ](/cabinet/bagi) The Keeper • 9 items [View Full Cabinet](/cabinet/bagi) ### COMMENTS No comments yet.
