	eek	1 Relevance	17 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	eek We had the same kind of thing happen when we moved to Denmark. The American crew was horrible. They packed stuff improperly, they stole stuff, and they would have left a ton of stuff in the house if I hadn't gone through and pointed out all the things they missed. Freaking MORONS. The Danish viking he-men movers, on the other hand, were great, even the one who smelled of beer at 8 a.m.
	Metal lamp bases are pretty	1 Relevance	9 years ago	Spanky	Identification
	Metal lamp bases are pretty much always hollow, sometimes with a weight inside. All lamps are just going to have bare cables on the bottom without the felt -- the only thing you're missing is that piece of felt (sometimes reinforced with cardboard) that would be glued to the bottom. Beautiful lamp. Sorry no help on the designer/manufacturer.
	Fantastic! You have proven	1 Relevance	11 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	General discussion
	Fantastic! You have proven me wrong. Fredericia was indeed part of the Danish Furniture Control. Mogensen is certainly the best known for oak chairs with butt leather sling seats, but there are certainly plenty of other companies and designers who might have done such a thing. Poul Hundevad comes to mind. (Not that I think it is a Poul Hundevad either). I still think it is very probably not Mogensen. It just does not look right.

	I kind of thought the same th... I kind of thought the same thing but I purchased it with a set of Uldum Johannes Andersen chairs that are definitely late 70s early 80s production. The hardware and assembly look really similar to a Niels Bach table that I had before that was solid teak. The teak is fairly aged also.
	Newbies doing veneer?	1 Relevance	14 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	General discussion
	Newbies doing veneer? I know people who have never veneered a thing in their lives, and I would bet heavily on their ability to re-veneer those tables. So can a "newbie" do it? answer: it depends on the newbie. The line where the lip is attached: is it straight? (it looks like it, but photos are tricky). If so, it could be cut off with a table saw and the table would loose only 1/4 inch in the end. I can't imagine trying to pry that off.
	the missing piece	1 Relevance	15 years ago	farmery	General discussion
	the missing piece is a piece of wood next to the hinge on the door. The silver stuff you see is the hinge. The door feels very stable when I opened and closed it so it appears to be just cosmetic. They are asking 2k but it is negotiable. We are fairly new to this vintage furniture thing so we have no idea if that is a good deal or not.
	All one	1 Relevance	16 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	All one has to do is Google "Eames lounger" and look at a couple of pages of "images" to identify the features that make this chair different from the real thing: form of base and presence of "rivets" on the outside of the shell. http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=eames+lounger&ie=UTF...

	. Are you after interiors with specific type of furniture ? I own a metal cabinet, that I use to store ceramics/ plates/ cups -and love (the detail photo above is mine, the bottom photo shows the complete cabinet). For me it is more a kitchen thing, but you could use it in a bathroom, or to store kid's stuff just as well.
	Dear Simon, ...	1 Relevance	19 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Dear Simon, ... Dear Simon, I agree in total to what you are saying, I have no problem spending money on the suite, ultimately it's a case of knowing exactly what I have ( still not sure about that Hong thing ). Like everyone I was hoping I'd unearthed a real gem which would have added to the buzz. As for the 1st Dibs comment. I agree with that also. What price Art ?
	I guess we have no experts...	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Fungus Mungus (USA)	General discussion
	I guess we have no experts... I guess we have no experts on fiberglass repair here. 🙂 I'm taking the chair into a surfboard shop here in Santa Cruz for an evaluation tomorrow. I suspect this will be a fairly easy thing for them to fix. Luckily it's not on a visible part of the chair. Might see if they can touch up the cracks on the arm while they're at it.
	Yes, cleaning with the soap	1 Relevance	10 years ago	Spanky	Repair
	Yes, cleaning with the soap flakes in water DOES work! The Danes have been using this on pine floors (same material--cellulose) for centuries and it works amazingly well. I have successfully used it to clean both dirty pine floors and stained paper cord seats. I don't know that it will get out very deep, dark stains on paper cord but it will lighten them, and it's pretty good at evening out lighter stains to the point where they are not noticeable. You may have to do a couple of treatments. Just do NOT scrub or rub the wet cord. Let the soapy water soak in, then blot it up. Wet paper is way more fragile than dry paper. Danish paper cord used to be made with a waxy coating but I read that that's no longer the case. I've never seen any new stuff with wax. I have never heard of anyone oiling it either---maybe it's been done but it's not a common thing at all. I would just go with soap. When the cord dries you can't tell that it's any different than unsoaped cord. Just be sure that every bit of soap is dissolved before you start! Undissolved bits will settle into crevices and will be visible after the seat dries. I use plain old Ivory bar soap that I grate with a food shredder thing---it takes a long time to dissolve unless you heat it on the stove. Some Danish friends told me me it's essentially the same as the flakes. I have never gotten solvents on any of the countless seats I've woven because I have the luxury of getting all of that stuff done before I start on the seats. BUT---I don't think a one-time-only contact with solvents will compromise the strength of the cord. I think the only problem would be that you can tell where the wet area ended (like a water mark).
	Burke was a company that made	1 Relevance	8 years ago	Spanky	Identification
	Burke was a company that made a lot of informal dinette sets, mostly in mod styles popular in the 50s-80s or however long they were around. They copied Saarinen's tulip table & chairs but with visible differences (easiest to spot if you compare them to the real thing). I don't think they made this type of molded fiberglass chair with an Eiffel tower base, though. But I might be wrong about that.
	thread thoughts	1 Relevance	14 years ago	waffle	General discussion
	we kicked this around before, but I still think the board would benefit from: - An ID specific thread, much like "the last thing you acquired" Something like "Help a Fellow DA'r With an ID". Boy would it neaten things up. - I think it would be good to have a "Buy/Sell/Trade" thread, allowing interested parties to go somewhere semi-private to work something out. I need a 6th dining chair, anyone have any more of this service, I just bought 50 Eames shells, etc. etc. Other suggestions welcome. I am just a pup on DA so I am fully prepared to be put in my place.

	i found this over the weekend, i like it but my husband doesn't...maybe because he had to carry the big heavy thing on a long walk back to the car. Anyone have any cool sculptures?
	Ok guys, honest opinons please!	1 Relevance	19 years ago	MarkTulip	General discussion
	So I got into a bidding war and ended up winning an ebay auction for these original 60's teak bowls. Only thing is they cost me £82, am I mad? or are these IYHO worth anywhere near it?
