| Yes, I see a similarity in the drawer pulls but I too was unable to find a Johannes Andersen match. That's the closest I've seen from a drawer pull configuration aspect, but didn't see a similar base or the colored drawers. I'm still hoping someone else see this post who might have one and know the designer. Thanks for your comment Herringbone. | |||||
| They would definitely fall | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Spanky | Identification | |
| They would definitely fall into the category of Danish Modern style, but yeah, not Danish. Drexel marked their furniture with that same kind of stenciling---might start there? Danish Modern was very hot in the late 50s and 60s in the US and even little furniture companies churned it out. Even the Sears and Montgomery Wards catalogs were full of it. And for whatever reasons, American furniture companies often didn't put their names on their stuff so it may be next to impossible to trace these to their origins. | |||||

| ... to be. As to whether this was common outside of Vodder, I don't think it was. But that's not to say it didn't happen, the BO69 desk by Finn Juhl is honestly the first thing that sprang to mind, he also did a similar sideboard and weird filing folding cabinet too. I digress, two big names were doing it, so even if this paint were original (which I doubt it to be) then the painted drawers are not an indication of this being a piece by Arne Vodder, just imitating trends. The design outside of painted drawers betrays that much. It must be stressed, there is ple ... | |||||
| Olivier, | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Olivier, Just in comparing photos of your chairs to authentic chairs, I see one major difference: the shape of the base. Yours do not slope evenly to the end, they have a very rounded shape. I think they are knockoffs. I didn't compare tables but I'd guess that's also not authentic. did Panton design a table that went with these chairs? | |||||

| Picked up this Hans Olsen for Juul Kristensen afromosia teak sofa and lounge chair set last week. Cane is in good shape except on one chair. Teak has some white scuff marks I tried taking out with #0000 steel wool and mineral oil. Some came out but most remained. I didn | |||||
| Well, you can rule out Vodder | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Well, you can rule out Vodder and Kierkegaard because their furniture didn't have exposed fasteners covered by wood plugs. Erik Buch chairs do have plugs over screws, but his arm chair had the distinctive triangle at the sides of the back rest so he's out, too. The front ends of the arms are beautiful but not that unusual, so that doesn't help a lot. The shape of the horizontal part of the arm is less common, I think. | |||||

| ... given by someone who didn't want or need it anymore. I think "because it's the same designer as the rocking chair" is probably near the bottom of the list of reasons most people give for buying a particular sideboard. Plus, that doesn't look like any sideboard Wegner designed or would have designed. His furniture is pretty well documented. | |||||
| Thanks! I was just skeptical | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | slipperchairs | Identification | |
| ... tell that it isn't just the natural wood color. The chairs need some TLC: screws need to be tightened and maybe some wood reglued. Do I need to be picky about who does this refurbishing work or are most furniture refurbishers well versed in handling this type of furniture and wood? I didn't even know about the wood staining and maple wood until you mentioned it. That's how new I am to all of this. And yes the dark color you mention (ebonize...just googled it) looks great! I was going to try to restain it to the chair in the photo with some brownish orange ... | |||||

| Totally understand that position, Leif. I personally have never bought anything from anyone one on a forum but I have used private messages for conversations that didn't necessarily need to be in a thread (instead of hijacking a thread for example or if I felt embarrassed to ask a question publicly). Is it a big problem on other sties? | |||||

| tktoo, I thought the house and grounds also looked very comfortable. Grand, but on a very human scale. Well lived-in. The critiques posted by cdsilva are interesting. I can see why the design didn't take off in a big way. If it was in my house it would be an art object and I don't have the floorspace for something that people wouldn't be allowed to sit in. | |||||

| ... they seem like a "known" period maker in the UK. Just having intelligence on the company would be useful. 3) The finish isn't perfect, but the picture issues are just bad light. It's much lighter and more even in person. The biggest issue is a poor and old after purchase poly job, indicated by telltale bad cutting on the top of the back (drip downs from the poly on the top, which the applier clearly didn't pay attention to). However, I can take all that off and refinish it pretty easily (weekend), so not really worried about it. Thanks, Rick | |||||
| I don't think it's Pearsall. | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Spanky | Identification | |
| I don't think it's Pearsall. The repeating oval-ish negatives spaces of the arms and base are more complex and original than anything done by Pearsall. These are the three chairs from the Pearsall archive online that come closest. Obviously they're not the same chair at all; what I'm saying is that Pearsall didn't go much beyond these as far as originality. https://web.archive.org/web/20130810102843/http://www.adrianpearsall.com... | |||||
