Other Looking for Norwegian chairs

Hi. I’m new here, from the US. I love Norwegian vintage chairs and want to find some for my living room. Does anyone know of auctions in Norway? If so please send links or info. Many thanks.

Here is an article with pictures and info about the best known ones: https://www.nrk.no/kultur/38-norske-retrostoler-1.14032007

You can try searching Finn.no for any of these.

If you are physically in Norway you should also keep an eye on flea markets ("loppemarked") when they pop up. They are typically organized by school classes, sports organizations etc to raise money for activities, and they collect donated items from people to sell. These will often have a an auction day when they sell off the more interesting bits that people have donated. If they happen to get any of these nicer pieces, and they know what they have, they'll show up on those auctions.

Be prepared for high tariffs. That's if you find someone willing to post it to the US.
