	Is there a prize for that?	1 Relevance	10 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	Identification
	Is there a prize for that? (No wonder I didn't win; didn't even know I could have been in the running). Is there a prize for the most verbose identification? I feel like I might be able to compete in that event.
	I ended up doing two	1 Relevance	10 years ago	mgee76	Repair
	I ended up doing two treatments. Pretty simple and it did remove the worst of the darker discolorations and lightened the cord. Second application went even further, and I bet that with a couple more treatments, the seats would look a lot better. As it is, they look alright. It didn't exactly fix everything, but it was better than nothing. Thanks again for the advice.
	Lief	1 Relevance	10 years ago	waffle	General discussion
	Lief Here is a dis-assembled pic. I tried to take a pic of the dowel ending but couldn't get it to focus. One of the dowels is stuck/glued/whatever and I didn't want to force things....Still think this is just a great thing AND Today bought a lamp that looked familiar.... for a reason. It's a David Cressey/Robert Maxwell Earthgender lamp. Large, but not the largest size. Pretty handsome

	Yes I do see that. I also know that these stickers can be bought by the roll so just having a paper sticker on it didn't see like proof to me. Like I said, there's no Knoll stamp, imprint or a Saarinen signature tag.
	Thanks minimoma	1 Relevance	10 years ago	scoutshouse_la	Identification
	Thanks minimoma Maybe my photo didn't capture the marks well enough, but it has the squared off Leopard's head mark that started in 1942, and the small "h" from 1957... Garrard still uses traditional marks. I see similar on pieces from Alex Styles made around that time. I followed up on Dresser because I assumed the person who made the remark knew of a connection between him and Garrard, but haven't come across anything. I contacted Garrard, hoping they'd be of some assistance, but so far no luck. Really too bad the designer isn't indicated 🙁 Thanks again ...
	The bolts are mostly flush;	1 Relevance	10 years ago	griffintamer	Identification
	The bolts are mostly flush; any protrusions might be attributed to the previous owner taking the chair in the first pic to an upholstery shop who did a very poor job restitching some of the seams. I am including a close up (sorry about the less-than-stellar telephone pic) as well as a pic of the inside of one of the seats (the stitching came undone and there's a very thin pressboard-type material between the leather layers, says Pirelli on it) There IS a seam in the middle of the sides on the bottom, just didn't show up in the first pic. Yes, the Christmas ...
	I haven't done a ton of paper	1 Relevance	10 years ago	Spanky	Repair
	I haven't done a ton of paper cord cleaning with soap, but what I have done has worked well on stains of about that darkness. Maybe it depends on what caused the stain, though--I really don't know. I have also used it on a pine floor that was quite dirty from 6 months' worth of muddy shoes and the results were amazing, though the floor had already had soap treatments before (which would have kept the dirt from getting too worked in). I don't think it will intensify the contrast. It might while wet---but I think it'll dry to the same or will be less cont ...
	I'm not going to venture a	1 Relevance	10 years ago	Spanky	Identification
	... There may also be remnants of a lacquer finish but your photos aren't detailed enough to confirm that. I don't know if lacquer was ever used on old Norwegian teak---maybe, maybe not. I've seen it on a few Danish pieces but not many. It might also be varnished but I'm not sure how common that was on teak either. Anyway, teak oil and #0000 will do amazing things to what looks like the most hopeless of cases. Below is a chair that I worked on recently. The owner bought it in this condition and had no idea what caused it. Amazingly, it took only cleaning ...
	Bumping this thread because I	1 Relevance	10 years ago	mgee76	Repair
	... are sorta loose and faded/dirty, but in good enough shape to leave alone. I got started this morning and before I knew it, I'd taken apart most of one of the chairs. I stripped the loose pieces and as much as I could without coming too close to the seat. I'm planning to carefully sand the old finish off in those areas. So far, at least with this one chair, it's looking pretty straightforward. As leif describes, I think I can mask off the cord and finish them in lacquer. My main question is the seats... I've read what I can here on the soap flake method. Thi ...

	At this stage, I thought I had a Kofod-Larsen desk by Peder Pedersen. I sent a note to the DFI staff that night with a request if they could send me a copy of the Mobilia 1956 ad for my records. They were very prompt and helpful with a reply the next day that included the ad. Sure enough, the desk was designed by Kofod-Larsen for P.A. Pedersen. Hmmmmm . . . . I didn

	Yes! Bonded leather grades: A - Guaranteed not to flake for 11 months (hope you didn't take that 1 year warranty seriously) B - Might not flake in the first 6 months C - Comes with brush and dustpan, and color-matched masking tape for mending tears
	Yes, I'm a bloke living down	1 Relevance	10 years ago	ScottB	Repair
	... Though as you also suggested, this might not be a bad thing. I'm not game to strip the table and then attempt to remove the stain and refinish it. The existing finish is a very good one and has been impervious to everything spilt on it until this week. Oh well. That stain will have to be part of family folklore. I guess I can console myself with the knowledge that at least I didn't have to pay for the table. My wife was one of a team of three who kicked off the HM dealership in Sydney in the 80s. I recall that table came in as part of an order for an office ...
	Need help With ID	1 Relevance	10 years ago	tck	Identification
	Just picked up this chair. It didn't have any tags or markings on it, but the shape/metal base/leather looked to be legit. The underside has small circular vents. I will try to add more photos in a bit. Anybody have any idea what type of chair this may be and who made it?
	RE: This topic doesn't exist or you don't have permissions to see that.	1 Relevance	8 years ago	Herringbone	General discussion
	I've had contact with Julie about a week ago. She wrote me that they will transfer all threads up until 2008 to the new forum. She also wrote that this was going to happen about a week ago. But it didn't, obviously. I don't know why. I'm still positive and I will continue to come back, either way. And I hope, some of you will stay, too, either way. The forum is what it is because of what had been done in the past, but also because the people who still come regularly and write stuff. We depend on the DA team to transfer the old threads - but it is still up to ...
	100% pure Tung oil does not	1 Relevance	10 years ago	Zephyr	Repair
	... more difficult to apply than a lot of people think. Yes, you just wipe it on and wipe it off, but the way it absorbs in its pure form (it is quite thick), you will typically get a splotchy sheen, and you will need to do multiple applications over time, to even it out. It absorbs in some areas and sits on the surface everywhere else. It also takes a bit longer to fully cure. 100% Tung oil really needs to be carefully thinned or warmed for the first few applications to get the best, and most efficient, results. It is a great product, that is chemically f ...
