Antique Questions Forum / Re: Question about my chair shaped like a hand?

wow, let me start off by saying thanks for all the quick replies. I belong to a few other forums and its not often that i get such quick and useful responses. I'm sure it's not a PEDRO FRIEDBERG (wish it was), he signs his work and it looks like the base of his chairs are hallow. My base is solid. I saw one just like my chair on ebay about a year or two ago selling for $1500 but im sure that doesn't mean much. It was listed as a Pedro Friedberg style chair but no more info was giving. I'm not sure what type of wood it is. If it doesnt have leaves or needles growing on it i have no clue. I have a slight memory of an advertisement from the late 70's   or early 80's (i was very young) of 2 older men sitting in hand shaped chairs. I think they were advertising a vermont furniture store. Thanks again if i come up with any thing new i'll share.

Antique Questions Forum / Question about my chair shaped like a hand?

« on: March 25, 2010, 10:53:36 pm »

Hello all, I was just wondering if anyone could tell me something about my chair. It looks like it is made from several pieces of wood joined together then maybe carved to look like a giant hand. the chair weighs  about 90 lbs. its about 41 inches tall, 24 inches wide, and 24 inches deep. I bought it in an estate sale around 10 years ago. the only marks i see on the chair is the words "made in Spain" branded on the bottom of the base. I have spent many hours browsing around the web but all i seem to find are the plastic reproduction hand chairs. thanks
