| Yes, it is always a possibility that something is not marked, or the marking fell off, wore off, etc. Some mfgs were better about marking than others. Post some pictures of the chairs here, along with any dimensions you can take, and the people on this forum can help you figure out if you chairs are likely real or not. | |||||
| Solid wood case pieces and | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | Identification | |
| Solid wood case pieces and tables are pretty rare in Danish Modern. They exist, but there aren't many. I think the more important point is that a large part of the Danish Modern Style is made possible by dimensionally stable substrates. So for example on a case piece, with a solid wood case, the front and back will almost always be made of veneer on some substrate. With wood movement it is simply not possible to create the wide flat doors of a typical credenza. And the back is nearly impossible. It is possible, however, to make a table out of solid te ... | |||||

| ... graded down. The center of teak has a core of soft pith and is the least dimensionally stable. Export quality wood is usually the best stuff. Given the tight growth rings I think it was probably not plantation grown. Also the heartwood is good and dark, which is a good sign. And I don't see any areas of stained sapwood, which is good. It looks like maybe some of the better quality locally available wood that was not export quality. I don't think Tibet wouldn't have a lot of this, but India sounds likely. I assume your friend meant Northern India near th ... | |||||

| ... that those wood strips under the table that hide the metal slides have slotted screw holes for expansion and contraction, considering that the table is veneer and has to have a dimensionally stable substrate, probably particle board. I see this inexplicable behavior underneath lots of Wegner tables. It could also indicate that there was a solid wood top version of the same design. And I've looked around and discovered that RY produced at least three distinct table designs. So there was definitely a period where this was a thing. I wish I knew more about i ... | |||||

| I notice looking at the catalog image that the cantilever is far more cross grained than is wise. Such a construction is weak. The side rail could snap. The rear joint is very long, and subject to wood movement problems especially in rosewood, which is not very dimensionally stable. This could lead to failed glue bonds. (For instance the front legs of the Pia chair are attached to the seat rails with wide finger joints, and this glue bond quickly breaks, even though it is much narrower than the sofa, fortunately the front rail mechanically locks it togethe ... | |||||

| ... Or it has been modified in some way. It certainly is extremely hard do believe it could have been built, as is, by a qualified Scandinavian cabinetmaker. The problem is with how the top is attached to apron. The top is solid teak and will expand and contract perpendicular to the grain. But it has been screwed to the apron so as NOT to allow this movement. The result is, as you an see in the pictures, that the top has started to tear itself apart. Perhaps the top was originally a dimensionally stable substrate with teak veneer? Perhaps the three outside s ... | |||||

| wouldn't you be better off describing the table in cm? I have to imagine that the official literature calls out the dimensions in cm or mm, and any mention of inches is a conversion. Any time there is a conversion, there is the opportunity for mistakes and rounding issues. I know that it is not always the case, but it has to be the majority of furniture build in Denmark. So would the 53 in the model name, represent the height? | |||||

| I've reupholstered a bunch of Overman chairs and yours look legit to me. Many had cast aluminum bases but the dimensions of the base and the style of feet is always the same, at least from what I've seen. Here's a SOLD listing on Etsy for your exact chair, including a photo of the original label. The labels were just paper or a thin fabric glued to the black cotton on the underside of the chair. They often fell off as the fabric aged and the adhesive lost its stick. The model is the M24. There were a bunch of other styles of chair, some with names (I th ... | |||||
| OK. First, a massive slab of | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | tktoo | General discussion | |
| First, a massive slab of solid wood like the top of your table is not what would normally be described as "dimensionally stable" no matter the species. Wood moves in accordance with relative humidity and temperature of its environment and varied, swirling grain just complicates the internal stresses seasonal movement will exert. That said, the best you can do would be to provide a stable environment for your table. Depending on variables like age and environment, expect a certain amount of variation with regard to flatness of the surface. This is completely normal, natural, and part of the charm, IMO. Personally, I would want to celebrate the unique qualities of the material. The voids should be left as is. There's no effective long-lasting method of filling them that wouldn't call unwanted attention to them anyway. You are lucky to have an unusually large piece of solid wood furniture in your home. Really, beyond regular cleaning and a periodic sanding, re-oiling, and/or paste-waxing, I wouldn't do anything at all except enjoy it if it were mine. | |||||

There were better grades available back when, and better makers compensated for the material's limitations by using thicker solid wood edge-bandings and appropriate joinery and fasteners in the construction. These features are often lacking in the lower-quality offerings. As bj mentioned, particleboard, or chipboard, was a modern alternative that offered a hard, flat, dimensionally stable, and reasonably priced alternative that was almost ideally suited to the rectilinear veneered surfaces that were popular then and we continue to appreciate still ... | |||||

As a owner of the said same cabinet (bought 10 years ago) the first to be said is that the RY100 series which this cabinet came from was a complete living room style which took the use of split cane / oak and teak and mixed them together.

By itelf, the shape is not dimensionally stable, but if you include the curcumradii in a structural model of the shape, it becomes rigid even if the vertices are unreinforced and allowed to rotate freely, such as would a magnetic stick on a ball bearing. If you were to construct the shape with its circumradii, you'd notice that it is now composed of tetrahedra and 1/2- octahedra, with their repective triangular and square ... | |||||
