| ROMANCE THE PATINA OF A REAL LIFE CHARACTER VIBE . MUSTY just RULES BROKEN is BETTER RUST NEEDS LOVE TOO . and "STAINS" . AUTHENTICITY = a time and a place and a story. The difference between vintage and authorized is often quite visible. It is a total pain in the ass sometimes, but vintage is usually way more fun than FACTORY FRESH. | |||||

| Very good. For those not familiar with the difference between a stencil and a stamp or other impression, the stenciled alphabet will always provide for the "islands" -- the enclosed portions of the letters Aa, Bb, Dd, e, g, Oo, Pp, Qq, R -- to be connected to the ground around the letter(s). In addition, many stencil fonts will provide additional reinforcement to the stencil material by breaking the letter into discrete parts. We see this in the MADE IN NORWAY stencil above, in virtually all of its characters. | |||||

| ... reupholstered. Obviously at some point one of the brass screw covers had gone missing and somebody made one of wood and painted it to match. We did not even realize it until after we'd bought the chair, and even after we did it was no big deal. The wood plug served the same purpose and looked just fine. You really had to scrutinize the chair to see the difference. Plus, if you have new brass covers made they won't have the same patina from age as the originals, they will look shiny and new. | |||||

| ... high prices...not necessarily. I lived there for a year and have known Danes in Denmark for a long time before and after that year. I also have done a lot of shopping there and can say that there are plenty of Danes who value the good Danish furniture very, very highly and will pay through the nose for it. When I got back to the US I found that it was way easier to get bargains here on good Danish furniture than it was in Denmark. The people there in general seemed to be pretty aware of Danish design, way more so than Americans about American design, fo ... | |||||

| ... there was historically a difference. Same difference with Finn Juhl designs executed by Niels Vodder vs say France and Søn. The Round Chair is an exception in that it became so popular that a large number of copies were made. Johannes Hansen was apparently embarrassed in the mid-50s to be selling so many chairs because he was producing so many units that his fellow snedkermesters would look down on him as a factory. Of course he insisted, and I believe the record bears him out, that even at such a high number of units produced he maintained quality at a ... | |||||

The fabric ones had an unusual upholstery method for the seats that may have been harder to do in leather---not sure why the difference. Or maybe they just modified the method/design at some point for ease in upholstering or a different look. | |||||

| Maybe Mr Kebab doesn't know the difference between work and play ? I'd say His Royal Colorfulness, Mark, has scored a coup (a Coup de Ville, no doubt !): he's provoked sartorial outrage among the citizenry. I suppose it was only a matter of time . . . | |||||
| leif ericson, | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Peruche | General discussion | |
| leif ericson, I posted that link because I thought that it was similar to what you were saying about the early Ib Kofod-Larsen chairs having a different seat frame and cinch straps. I thought it was interesting that I had come about that site not to long ago and you happened to mention things that the site was describing. Now that I have your attention..... leif ericson, Can you answer my question about the difference between the Selig paper sticker & red metal medallion. Why does some Selig furniture have one or the other? Thanks Peruche | |||||

| To be honest, I have no idea what the difference is between a paper or medal Selig medallion. I have seen both over the years and would also be interested in finding out what the correct answer is. I have some theories but would rather hear or read facts. Anybody else like to chime in on this subject...... Peruche | |||||
| Good to see the seat support | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | cdsilva | General discussion | |
| Good to see the seat support design for the Hovedstadens chair. On a side note, the Jeppesen chairs also have the same metal L-brackets that help support the back of the seat frame. There are also the usual sliding dowel connections to the bottom part of the backrest framing, so I guess they wanted belts and suspenders in that area. That makes the seat support design the only detail difference that I can see so far between the two. | |||||

| The older ones did not have signatures on their legs. I don't know what the tell-tale signs of a real vs fake knoll sofa are, but recommend you inspect the sofa taking very precise measurement of the frame, photographing the undersides and backsides of everything, the stitching, the fasteners putting everything together, the feet, etc. And before you go, research enough to know if the metal frame should be chrome plated steel vs stainless, and learn how to tell the difference. If you do all that and compare everything to a known authentic, and of the same ro ... | |||||

| I think that the signature detail, the tops of the legs, is actually a different shape. Also, the knockdown feature of many danish pieces was an integral part, not just of the design, but of the entire business model of certain firms. So it is hardly likely that a maker of a knockdown furniture, like Jeppesen, would just produce assembled furniture as though it were a minor difference. I don't know what that means about this table, but I don't think it was made by P. Jeppesen. | |||||

| ... as model 109/2. It is possible it might have been stretched further at some point as 109/3 or 109/4, but I don't have proof of that, just the knowledge that other such models were stretched to those lengths. As to the stain, I am not certain, but I strongly think it has been stripped and re-stained. The color on there right now looks a lot like what you would get with a "dark walnut danish oil." Basically more of the color in the oil finish deposits in the more porous parts of the wood, and the rays in the wood, being very dense, absorb very little of i ... | |||||

| It's interesting that the combination of 30" table and 18.75" seat feels "way too low" to you. My setup (Knoll table with a rectangular top instead of the huge oval, with plastic Panton chairs) is overall lower than yours, but it has exactly the same seat-to-tabletop difference (27.75" table and 16.5" seat) and it feels perfect to me. But maybe I'm just used to it. Or maybe you're just used to something else. If you can't get accustomed to the 11.25" difference (and you don't want to put cushions on the chairs), the easiest way to find your perfect seat-to ... | |||||
