<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 1659677, member: 738"]Mid-mod Danish is getting quite popular, but I think $169 is a bit unrealistic, unless it's an attributed maker. My mother had Danish teak chairs covered in white vinyl, that she got from the Minneapolis-based Scandia Design Store back in the 50's. Based on that I am assuming your black cover is original. It looks as if the seat is a simple board that can be removed. If you want to recover it, do so, just leave the original 50s vinyl in place underneath, as a document. </p><p>To address the wood condition, use a bit of mineral spirits and 0000 steel wool to <b><i>lightly</i></b> clean the wood, wipe down with a soft cloth, then apply a good quality paste furniture wax to freshen up the finish. </p><p>Such a conservative approach should not mess with any potential future value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
