About Ole Wanscher

Born

1903

Died

1985

Nationality

Danish

Ole Wanscher (1903–1985) was a Danish furniture designer; a collected German-language profile also identifies him as an architect. A secondary source places him within Scandinavian Design, although the present source pack lacks a museum, university, estate, or scholarly biography to strengthen that classification. The public object records gathered here document seating designs, including a Windsor chair dated 1942 and a folding stool dated 1957. These examples help explain why collectors may encounter Wanscher’s name in furniture and design auctions, particularly on chairs and stools rather than fine-art objects. His identity is anchored by Wikidata and several international authority identifiers, but the biographical evidence available here remains limited. This profile therefore presents the core identity and documented design examples without extending the record into unsupported claims about training, manufacturers, materials, exhibitions, awards, or market performance.

Common works and media

The collected object records document seating associated with Ole Wanscher, specifically a Windsor chair dated 1942 and a folding stool dated 1957. The present source pack does not support broader claims about his complete range of designs, preferred materials, manufacturers, editions, or production periods, so other objects should be researched individually.

Market and appraisal context

The collected evidence identifies Wanscher with furniture design and documents examples of seating, but it does not provide usable auction-house commentary, verified realized prices, or an artist-specific analysis of value. No price trend or premium should be inferred from this research alone. A responsible appraisal should compare the object with current, well-documented auction records for the same furniture type and identified design. Maker, materials, dimensions, condition, provenance, production date, and production status may require separate verification before a comparable lot is treated as relevant. The available Appraisily auction-record signal can support later comparison, but the underlying sale records must be reviewed directly.
