| @lexi @wesemael I have definitely seen Ib Kofod Larsen attributions on the internet. I am not sure I believe them, but I don't have any evidence as to the designer. In my two Povl dinesen catalogs from the early / mid 1960s both designs are uncredited. In my Aasbjerg / Excellent Furniture Co catalog the designs are also uncredited (which is normal for this catalog), but the maker's initials are given: MS and the model numbers are given too: MS-20 is the one with wood armrests, MS-30 is the other. And MS-xxF is the footstool. I have never figured out fo ... | |||||

| Unfortunately I do not have access at the moment. All of the furniture I have(from them) and the remaining pieces were purchased in the late 1950's from Povl dinesen and/or France & Son's I believe. | |||||

| Which would make sense if all those pieces were purchased at Povl dinesen‘s shop as you assume. dinesen was a retailer of France & Søn‘s furniture, he sold other stuff as well and at least up to a certain time he also produced his own furniture. The Juhl table is the only one I find in his program that looks like yours. | |||||
| More furniture to be ID'd. | 1 Relevance | 7 years ago | dignan99 | Identification | |
| Hi All, A couple of years ago someone was nice enough to ID furniture that I purchased from a friend. Unfortunately her parents are getting older and her daughter is not interested in the remaining items so she has given me the option to purchase. She is beyond kind. Previously someone had labeled some of the furniture as purchased by or at France & Son's, and the name Povl dinesen. A couple of other items(step stools and a rocking chair) were Finn Juhl. Any help with these would be very kind. Thank you. Attachment: furniture1.jpg | |||||

| @herringbone. I went through old threads on DA. It seems @leif-ericson has a 1962 catalogue. Also I found one of the nightstands with a John Stuart Inc. label and @spanky mentioned a few years back that she had one of their catalogues ( no date mentioned) with some Hvidt / Molgaard designs. Maybe these might help narrow down the production period ? It would seem this piece was also retailed by Poul dinesen; found one with his stamp. | |||||
| RE: Armchair - is it worth repairing? Who made it? | 1 Relevance | 6 years ago | mark737 | General discussion | |
| Thanks for the tip - I will send them some photos and see if they respond. For what it's worth, I found these in a small town in Texas, but it is located about 25 miles from a major Army base. Maybe some Army officer bought these from Mr. dinesen while stationed in Germany in the late 50's and brought them back to Texas. | |||||

| I think @mvc is trying to say nonverbally that there is a challenge in the fact that your chair looks different than the PD or OM chairs. It is well outside the range of variation we might see in a cabinetmaker piece where we can expect variation. It might also be something that has nothing to do with Erik Buck or Povl dinesen. It could be all sorts of things, really. Hopefully some of the information added to this thread will give you the state of knowledge collectively here on the PD and OM versions of the Erik Buck design. | |||||

| @mvc Thanks for the reply. I was reading some old threads on Buch and dinesen and found this one where @leif-ericson discussed that some of his tags (like the one on the chair in your link) say "Supplied by Povl dinesen" , meaning that he sold them but probably did not make them. https://designaddict.com/community/main-forum/Teak-bench-ID-assistance-please4216/#post-52961 There was also this interesting thread where Povl dinesen's son Palle answered questions about his father and his business. He says his father did design and make furniture in additi ... | |||||

| ... be great to find another example somewhere that had the same details. Here is the photo from the Grete Jalk guild exhibition books. It hadn't occurred to me until right now that that photo is not of the example from the guild exhibit, but rather a later chair. Most of the photos in those volumes are of the guild booths, but there are exceptions made to add later photographs to show a design in greater detail. A good example of this is the Niels Vodder 1945 booth and the 45 chair. The exhibit chair can be seen in the booth photo. On the opposite page is a la ... | |||||

| Here is a Povl dinesen advertisement from 1956. Note this is from prior to the 1957 Guild Exhibition when it was displayed. I once owned a matching model 50 armchair that was probably from 1959. It was like the later Odense Maskinsnedkeri version with two exceptions: 1 it was built with doweled butt joints not the router cut finger joints you usually see and 2 it had a heat branded Danish Furnituremakers’ Control. I believe this was the earlier OM version. So PD was probably making and selling this design from 1956 to 58/59. This would mean there are pro ... | |||||

| If we return to what @cdsilva said, the fundamental point I see there is that this chair has cabinetmaker low volume production features of the mid 1950s. Where he said it could be PD shortly after 1957 I would amend that to a statement that if it is related to Povl dinesen (or some other danish cabinetmaker) it is from prior to that 1956 PD advertisement. | |||||

| I don't have any hard evidence to back this up, but I still think your chairs are earliest handmade production by Povl dinesen. That mortise and tenon joint reminds me of a Wegner JH515 joint that I reglued a few years ago. It would be great if another example like this turned up in Denmark somewhere. | |||||

| FWIW, I just bought this teak side table made by France and Son, which according to an old thread here is shown in an old Povl dinesen catalog as by Ole Wanscher. And as you can see, it has same keyhole joint construction. Attachment: WST9.jpg | |||||
