| So I heard back from Erik | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Reamie | General discussion | |
| So I heard back from Erik Buch....they couldn't find these chairs but stated that the family didn't keep good records. I guess it's a mystery that won't be solved! It would also lead me to believe that they are not designed by Erik Buch. Anyone else care to weigh in? | |||||
| Thanks Minimoma, I'm not | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Reamie | General discussion | |
| Thanks Minimoma, I'm not willing to spend the money on a replica. I'm fairly convinced that it's a replica, as I didn't recognise the brochure of the store where it was bought originally. It's too far to travel really on the possibility I can find the markings when the owner can't! | |||||

| Sorry to imply that SCAN was generic cheap stuff...I guess I am use to people around here selling Scandinavian unmarked more generic stuff and referring to it has from SCAN...Most of the time it usually is generic dining tables and chairs and ugly boxy credenzas and dressers...I never got the chance to go to a SCAN store...would have liked to. But I guess I should learn from my mistakes...one time at a local auction around here theres was a credenza up. They had it listed as SCAN and even had a picture of the SCAN furniture care instuructions that were sti ... | |||||
| I just picked up a floor and | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | MLF | General discussion | |
| ... as you can see in the photos, as well as some apparent light surface rust and bubbling, possibly from a protective finish. I am unsure of what the underlying metal is, but guessing bronze and steel (for the long support on the floor lamp) and that the brushed metal look is a finish. I might consider powdercoating or painting the two white, but would like to preserve the original finish if possible. Additionally, the floor lamp did not come with a shade, so I would need to purchase one. Has anyone purchased one off one of the companies on EBay selling replac ... | |||||
| racecar, that is a painful | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| racecar, that is a painful one. I've been thinking this morning too much about all the things I got for cheap at junk auctions 10+ years ago before all the dealers caught on---stuff I bought to sell that I now kind of regret. One thing I did keep was the long Rosenslew terrine. The handle was missing but it's still beaufiful. I've also never once used it, but who cares! I also got one of these Stig Lindberg for Gustavsberg, Sweden ice buckets made of heavy ceramic and then sold it. I know I didn't pay more than $10 for it. I knew what it was, I just fe ... | |||||
| CdsilvaI, I am on Oahu. I | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | HawaiiModern | General discussion | |
| CdsilvaI, I am on Oahu. I purchased this piece at auction so unfortunately I have no provenance with it. It didn't mean to offend any diYers or take away from the skill of some. My apologies if I have. I am a big diy'er myself and to design and build these legs would have pushed my skil-set boundaries. I guess I was coming at it with that in mind. I thought I should show a better shot of the detail of the the x members. They are wider in the middle and taper in towards the ends. They defiantly show some design work was involved. The straight legs are simple, ... | |||||
| Hello | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Sarah Wilson | General discussion | |
| Hello Sorry not to thank you for your thoughts earlier; for some reason I didn't receive an email alert that anyone had posted a comment! I suppose another explanation could be that as a lot of people use internet images to attribute designs, if the original image and attribution are incorrect then the myth perpetuates itself until someone refers to an original design manual or catalogue? Thank you Sarah | |||||

| Good morning Howard Moon and Mark! EDIT: And good morning spanky! Funny I thought it was about the one I missed… I had to curtail my own responses on that previous thread also. didn't do a very good job of it though. (Although I never mind exacerbating things, it was still difficult to choose words.) | |||||

| Wish I could say "Great minds | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | william swift | General discussion | |
| Wish I could say "Great minds blah blah ..." But when it comes to Danish furniture, mine is feeble in comparison. I am more cynical about the paper tag placement the more I think about it. When I acquire a mystery piece, I can't wait to dig in to it looking for tags, markings, etc. Why wouldn't the seller peek under it? If it had the right markings, it could be confidently sold as a Wegner design rather than a "Denmark" chair. Maybe they did peek and didn't like what they saw? | |||||
| Last weekend at the antique | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | racecar | General discussion | |
| Last weekend at the antique faire I didn't buy the Sarpaneva cast iron dutch oven (with teak handle) and I've been regretting it all week. Yesterday this one came up for sale locally, also by Rosenlew. The only picture I can find of another one online is in the Rosenlew museum and the photo is too small to tell exactly. I like it. | |||||
| Wow, that brings back | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | fastfwd | General discussion | |
| Wow, that brings back memories, tktoo. I had one just like that at around the same time in my life, although I didn't treat it very well -- first one of the scales broke (my dad molded a resin replacement) and then a couple years later the latch wore out and would no longer hold the blade closed. Oh well. Here's the pocket knife I've been carrying for the last ten years: Spyderco's Caly 3, designed by Sal Glesser. Scales are carbon fiber, blade is ZDP-189 laminated between two sheets of 420J2. The knife opens one-handed, quicker than an automatic, and can ... | |||||

| ... frame, they will disappear with oiling. A mat cutter blade is ideal but anything like that will do. A box cutter blade might be good (not in the knife, though). Leif, have you redone these in leather? I know the cardboard backs were originally glued on but my first attempt at that was such a horrible experience that I gave up and have been sewing them on ever since. I used contact cement and brushed it on to both surfaces but that stuff is so viscous and goopy that it ended up getting where i didn't want it to, even though I was being super careful! It ... | |||||
| last one for now-- | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| last one for now-- I got these two awhile back---thought the dude was a Hans Bølling but wasn't 100% sure the duck was, but mostly I thought they'd be a fun project and they didn't cost much so who cares. Turns out both are knockoffs. The Stritt guy is by Zooline and the most obvious difference is the shape of the ears. The rest is almost exactly the same (slightly longer torso) (ok, no red hair ever on the originals but I wasn't sure about that at first). I put new shearling wool hair on him and made new feet out of birch half-eggs from a crafts supplie ... | |||||

| Thank you for your reply ! I really appreciate it. I apologize for any rudeness that may have come across from myself. I honestly didn't mean for that to come across - I'm just not a furniture person but obviously I respect what you guys do, and what you have done for me. So thank you very much for helping me and again, sorry for any disrespect that you guys felt. | |||||
