| I can't support the | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| I can't support the identification of teak; neither close-up (and they differ remarkably in both color and texture) says oily yellow-tan teak to me -- a wood which often approximates orange under a clear finish. The only specie which (in my opinion) might appear as either sample does, would be a mahogany. And I'm not happy with that choice, either, as what I see in either photo would be marginal for Honduras mahogany. Really, the color and texture difference between the two breaks (one each from the left and right arms -- right ?) suggests that they weren' ... | |||||

| Albertini, Would you post some images of your chairs? I would like to see if these chairs with no markings differ to the France & Son/Cado productions. | |||||
| Hi Onno. | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | HowardMoon | General discussion | |
| Hi Onno. The way the chair is construction looks very atypical of France & Son pieces. The joinery and shaping of the timber looks off and lacks finesse. The visible screws are not the standard hex key bolts used by France & Son. The sculpted ends to the armrests differ in size to a Model 133 Spadestolen. There is a visible screw holding the backrest to the back of the armrests. Iv'e never seen this design listed in any France & Son catalogue. Whenever I have asked anyone selling this design if it has a France & Son tag the answer has always been no. | |||||

| I know that Vitra and HM... I know that Vitra and HM differ in dimensions. But I haven't heard dimension changes in productions within HM though. I'd love to hear more about it. In fact, once I complete restoring my 1956 Eames Lounger, I'll do a direct comparison between it and my 2010 production. That'll hopefully give some insight into it. I'm excited! | |||||
| Wow | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | Pegboard Modern | General discussion | |
| Wow That's cool. You learn something new every day. So that explains why they are so close, yet the details differ from the standard US produced chairs. It also is nice to know that I've still yet to see a vintage knock-off and that these are simply Australian produced under license. Explains the evidence of a label. Too bad they are all gone. It would be cool to see the original label. I too would like to see what you end up doing with them. Keep us updated please. | |||||

| Anyone Know if that is a Wegner piece? Drawer pulls differ from the ones I see in this vintage add. I gave it a quick once over and there were no stamps of any kind. Luckily I have parents who understand my "illness" and therefore are always on standbye to pick up my finds while I am at work. | |||||
| The factors | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| The factors to keep in mind are, A) everything you do to the surface with a tool different from the original one will create a different effect, and B) scratches differ widely in their depth, and no final result will be acceptable if the deepest scratches are not removed. Therefore, the initial work must be to go deep enough to reach the bottom of those scratches. This implies that a coarser grade of abrasive should be applied first. Only after that application has created a uniform appearance to the damaged area should the next finer abrasive be employed ... | |||||
| I think | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | jbtirza | General discussion | |
| I think It also good to know that some older originals never had a label. I have seen this come up in discussions re. The Barcelona for example. The signature on there was added because of authenticity issues with so many knock offson the market as they had not protected their rights properly. I own a 1940's barcelona and it does not have alabel or manufacturers label on there but it sure is real and quite valuable and rare. The sizes differ slightly from the current sizes too. it goes for many objects too. So it it not always the best guideline, i think th ... | |||||

| ... used a bolted frame then changed to welded throughout, pre-war chairs are very rare. The book isn't exhaustive but is worth purchasing, there is some interesting information too if you look up a few articles on the recent Tugendhat restoration, the chairs were made according to the original drawings which differ considerably from the current production and they had to get permission from Knoll to do it, the article is somewhere online and goes into other interesting things like the tussle between the family and the Brno council and the recovery of lost fixt ... | |||||

| (2) Eames Zenith Rope Edge Armchairs I recently and luckily picked up for $20USD a piece! Been stored away since 1974. Reason I know this is that the bases were wrapped in newspaper from that year. They are in great shape with the original shine that is just wonderful. The checkerboard label is in great condition on both as well. They differ from my RAR Zenith in that they have the extra bar across the bottom. Anybody know what this bar is for or why it is there on this model? | |||||

I am 99% sure mine is legit based on comparison to the real deal and that they belonged to the parents of the couple I bought it from who apparently had quite a collection of nice MCM stuff... but a label would have been sweet | |||||
| RE: Mama Bear Chair | 1 Relevance | 3 years ago | Herringbone | General discussion | |
| ... Bear" is difficult to say. I'm not sure he approved of the name at all. Papa Bear and Mama Bear differ quiete a bit constructionwise. Both are upholstered and have wooden armrests, but that's about it. So generally speaking, it would certainly be more accurate to say that AP28 was the "Mama" version of AP27. But the Papa Bear was of course a better point of reference at the time | |||||
| Kevi in Denmark | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Kevi in Denmark made that design first but others make it now. I believe this one (second photo) sold by Conveyer & Caster is the essentially the same thing, though you should check dimensions and, more importantly, the type of post. (Also, the caption under the photo on C&C's page says "caster may differ from image displayed" but I think that just means that it comes in different metals, not just that one. But call and check. I ordered from them recently and talked to a very helpful and knowledgeable guy several times.) http://www.cc-efi.com/Products/C ... | |||||
