Erik and Majsan Deijenberg acquired this chair directly from Gustaf Fjaestad in Arvika, Sweden.
The Deijenbergs were very interested in art and contemporary culture and the artists were often among the friends of the family.
Thence by descent.

Gustav Fjaestad was a pupil of Bruno Liljefors and Carl Larsson. He became renound for his depictions of Swedish winter landscapes, often with glistening icecrystals and bubbling water by ice's edge, sometimes lit up by the setting sun, sometimes in scales of grey, white and purple. He also designed templates for woven wallpapers, furniture, and wrought iron. He is represented in major Swedish museums as well as in Vienna and Chicago.
