This chair has been attributed to Roux, but clearly has the word, "Vharencarspel" on the seat. I found that Harenscarpel is in the Netherlands. The vikingish symbolism further distances this piece from Roux, in my mind.

Hi!
I saw this chair as well and although it is a high-quality piece, it seemed too rustic and and strange for A. Roux.
Thanks!
