	RE: DA old timers	1 Relevance	7 years ago	SDR	Off topic
	... to "restore it correctly," whatever that might mean . . . I alway expect to see more black in wenge, but maybe there are varieties ? I didn't know the Danish used it, but that just tells you I'm no Skandinavian woodworking maven---not by a long shot. Glad you found and rescued this piece ! I really like it. What does the lid look like ? Can you find a photo ? I'm making a built-in desk/table/seat for my neighbor the muralist. He told me what he wanted, and I'm pursuing it. The stationary piece(s) are in; next is the movable bit, an extension of the ...
	RE: Help IDing MCF dresser... Edmund Spence?	1 Relevance	7 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	Identification
	... so adding the owner’s name was the Danish way of clarifying the situation. That said it is entirely possible that J Clausen did design the pieces made by his company. He would certainly be a likely candidate since he didn’t advertise an architect as the designer. People often have a hard time understanding why the Danes didn’t mark everything and they develop all sort skills of insecurities about this culminating in the stupidity of forging marks sometimes. The basic thing that needs to be understood is that a mark was not for us and it had its own mea ...
	RE: Early Production Hans Wegner Cow Horn Chair?	1 Relevance	7 years ago	Herringbone	General discussion
	The metal tag must be post 1960 or 1961. That was the time, Wegner designed the JH logo for Hansen. (At least that’s the information I got from Marianne Wegner and in advertisements Hansen also didn’t use the logo prior to 1961). Up to then, Hansen probably always used the heat brand you often find on an older round chair, simply reading Johannes Hansen, Copenhagen, Denmark or Made in Denmark.
	RE: Early Production Hans Wegner Cow Horn Chair?	1 Relevance	7 years ago	Herringbone	General discussion
	The round chair was Johannes Hansen‘s signature piece, it sold a couple of thousands during the fifties if I remember correctly. Every now and then you’ll find one at an auction. Wegner‘s other JH models were also successful, but didn’t sell nearly as much. My point is: You‘ll probably have a hard time to find cow horn chairs from 1952 and if you do, you‘ll also have a hard time to tell the difference between a 1952 and a 1959 production. Maybe you can check old Bruun Rasmussen catalogs to get an idea.
	RE: Saarinen side table repair	1 Relevance	7 years ago	facto75	Repair
	Thanks for the tips. I agree that the design seems prone to failure and it didn't help that the table was handled incorrectly. Fortunately the top fell only a short distance to a carpeted floor and didn't break. I saw it happen and was expecting a mess!
	RE: Early Production Hans Wegner Cow Horn Chair?	1 Relevance	7 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	General discussion
	The cowhorn was produced by Johannes Hansen in Copenhagen, not Carl Hansen in Odense. JH was, at least initially, as small shop that sold directly to the public and therefore he called himself a cabinetmaker. Carl Hansen was a 50-ish year old business when it started collaborating with Hans Wegner and had already outgrown the period of selling direct to the public from a small shop and it was now what the Danes called a factory, but Carl didn't really like the term because he felt anybody could be a "factory owner", which was actually literally true, so he ...
	RE: Saarinen side table repair	1 Relevance	7 years ago	tktoo2	Repair
	... want to add a reinforcing flange, as well, to increase bearing/adhesive surface and better distribute future load forces. Interesting to see a fiber/resin matrix applied to the underside. Appears to be fiberglass sprayed with a "chopper gun", likely by the quarry that sliced the marble. This type of failure is predictable and some blame belongs with Knoll, IMO. Fortunately for you, though, the top didn't split entirely into 2 or more pieces!

	Actually, my mistake, the top one didn't have a Vodder attribution. Here's the link if you want to see the rest of the photos: https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/tables/vanities/petite-danish-modern-teak-mirrored-vanity-black-glass-top/id-f_15695441/

	RE: Pearsall Chairs Made in Denmark	1 Relevance	7 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	Pearsall furniture was made in Pennsylvania. He copied a LOT of other peoples' stuff. Vladimir Kagan sued him for infringement. I went through the Pearsall catalog years ago and documented a lot of the copies and posted it on DA. Not sure if it ever got moved to the new site. Lots of old threads didn't. Pearsall did a passable job with the workmanship on the frames that were visible, but the frames covered with upholstery looked like something out of a high school shop class (sophomore or junior year at that).
	RE: Pearsall Chairs Made in Denmark	1 Relevance	7 years ago	mark737	General discussion
	So, you think these chairs were originally Danish designs that Pearsall reproduced? I looked through some of the old Pearsall threads but didn't find any that gave specific examples of copies. @Spanky , do you recall any specific words you would have used in that thread? I see that his kids have removed the Craft catalogs from their website because people were "copying and reproducing" pieces. They are charging a $75 fee to certify pieces with a copy of the catalog page.
	RE: Reupholster Kai Kristiansen chair 31	1 Relevance	7 years ago	Spanky	Repair
	It's been 7-8 years at this point and I don't remember taking the back off. Pretty sure I didn't. I mostly just remember that fitting the welt around the wood and making sure the raw edges were all hidden was a pain in the neck. Very fussy work. I'm pretty sure a few hand stitches were involved.
	RE: Genuine or not? NV45 by Niels Vodder	1 Relevance	5 years ago	cdsilva	General discussion
	Tufted 45 in Arizona! My guess is that almost all early 45's still in existence have been re-upholsterered to buttonless, perhaps because the owner/upholsterer didn't realize that tufting was a marker of early 45 production. If you ever come across one, try to grab it and don't reupholster. Attachment: earliest-45-version.jpg
	RE: Pearsall Chairs Made in Denmark	1 Relevance	7 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	Pearsall didn't reproduce anything. He came up with slightly different designs based very, very closely on existing designs by others. In casual parlance, these are knockoffs. A lot of companies did it but Pearsall gets so much more credit than what he's due. Many people who are new to the genre have the idea that he's some kind of iconic figure, and a lot of dealers toss his name about because it'll sell furniture. Some may believe their own hype too, i dunno. The thread i was talking about above never got moved to this new site. The Pearsall catalog I ...
	RE: Who designed it first ?	1 Relevance	5 years ago	tktoo2	General discussion
	These guys didn't work in a vacuum. Most if not all of the greats were influenced (consciously or otherwise) by others' previous work and the examples noted above are all great designs regardless, in my humble opinion. Meaningless here of course, but I did see one source list the Hvidt desk as from 1954.
