	keaton--did you ever get your swatch? Mine JUST came. I must say, it's utterly, totally, drop dead gorgeous. The lighting on these pics is off due to the lighting here. The wool is just the natural creamy white of an actual sheep (a clean one, i mean). Also, very soft. The second photo includes a swatch of Knoll Boucle to show the difference in texture.

	Thanks gents, I'll try to keep feet out of these threads in the future. The lamp is actually not vintage, but from 2008. I will I think just order one leaf to replace the one that really has suffered, given relative young age, the colour difference shouldn't be too big (I really hope). I did find out how to remove the black spots: https://theolivegreenwindow.blogspot.ch/2013/09/ph-artichoke.html It includes using chemicals to remove the lacquer, then sand the copper, and re-apply lacquer again. I think I'll leave it with replacing just one leaf.
	It is definitely not Kofod	1 Relevance	9 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	Identification
	... take to get this piece to fit with Sibast are beyond the ad absurdum threshold. Beyond the fact that the handles bear some resemblance to Arne Vodder's Sibast handles, I don't think there is anything that even suggests it is Scandinavian, as Howard said. The feet look like Italian design to me. It is hard to tell what the wood is from the photos, but I will tell you that I know plenty of people who might be described as "professional restorers" who can't reliably tell the difference between rosewood, teak, afrormosia, and walnut, and some of the less use ...

	Spanky to the naked eye there is no difference in the two, however when measured the FDB versions armrest at the widest point is a mm wider than the Frederica. That could be just the quirk of mine though! I have a fluffy sheepskin thrown over mine that does the job nicely!

	Reamie, can you see the difference between the two when they are side by side? I'm curious. I have two, too, but neither one of them is in my home right now and I don't remember which production either is. I love them very much but I do have to use a lumbar pillow to be really comfortable. One thing I like a lot about this chair is that it's tall but the back is just spokes---so it's great for leaning your head back and really relaxing BUT it has a lightness to it. This can matter a lot if you have it in a smaller room, or if the only good spot for it ...
	Hi Stig,	1 Relevance	9 years ago	H	Identification
	... one turns up on eBay/etc... Though I do need to check that the height difference isn't going to make it uncomfortable to sit at. Do you have any idea what would be a reasonable max price for an old Arkana + 8 chairs? I'm in the UK though, that might affect going rates. Thanks a lot in any case.

	... we can be sure the Milo Baughman pages are perfect though). So the chairs are William Watting. It sounds like there is some indication that they were under license and perhaps there was another maker elsewhere... maybe that could explain the minor (but major) difference in the side rail. There are also a LOT of pages of William Watting designs in Furniture Forum. I don't think he would be widely seen today as a highly influential designer, but if you only looked at only Furniture Forum you might be forgiven for thinking that Watting and Aalto were the ...

	My experience is that generally the people who value things in original state are difficult to reach, and that market is rather small as well. For me personally, being able to source original fabrics at good price, and having an affordable re-upholsterer makes a huge difference. With respect to colour, I've had mcm Danish sofa sets in neutral grey wool sitting in inventory for a year, but bright yellow seats sold within days. The colourful stuff tends to sell quicker in my experience.
	What might be even worse, Peg	1 Relevance	9 years ago	tktoo	Identification
	What might be even worse, Peg, is when someone sees a photo of what is obviously rosewood veneer and says it could be walnut. FWIW, that chair is from my favorite edition. Thinner panels and cushions that break-in just so, and those arm pads, with the wider, squared-off rear corners really make a difference.

	... levels of skill, quality, and speed. There were many other snedkermesters around the country who did not participate in these exhibitions. - J.L. Moller and Andreas Tuck were furniture factories that were developed to meet increased demand (much of it overseas) and cost pressures which the low-volume cabinetmakers could either not handle or did not want to handle. Quite a few of these early furniture factories were headed up by snedkermesters, who modified their traditional method of working to adapt to a more modern economic/production climate. Carl Hanse ...

	... pieces were decorated with bamboo, almost all of the furniture was MADE of rattan, not bamboo. They are two different materials, with different qualities when it comes to flexibility, strength, etc. If you look at both you will quickly be able to discern the difference. Bamboo has very distinct nodes, or knees where rattan has more subtle variations in thickness. Rattan is solid and bamboo is hollow.

	Most Danish furniture of this	1 Relevance	10 years ago	gropius	Repair
	Most Danish furniture of this era was shipped flat and assembled on arrival in the new country - much like Ikea furniture today. The difference being that it was assembled by professionals who weren't intending to take it apart again - so figuring out how to take it apart is more difficult, and may require some judicious tool usage. Once you get started you may find it is easier than you thought. Start by taking out the shelves and drawers, then figure out how the legs are attached, the back may be stapled in which can be removed without damage, the other fo ...
