Wicker chair
Two such wicker chairs are to be found in Amundsen’s home. They are similar to those that saw service on both Fram during the South Pole expedition and Maud on the expedition through the Northeast Passage. From a 1926 birthday film, we can see that the wicker chairs were used outside in the garden on fine summer days.
