| ... with a wing nut. Just now it is rosewood brings with it a fairly strong presumption of when it is from, but the real answer is in how it was constructed. The most obvious difference is visible in whether there is a continuous band of veneer around the perimeter or whether the edge banding shows joints between the banding boards of solid lumber. There are other differences too. One strange feature of the Judas is the Niels Vodder did not offer it in his catalog until 1959 (or maybe later). So while the model number (FJ49, same model number as the Egyp ... | |||||
| Inspiration for new designs | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | cdsilva | Identification | |
| Inspiration for new designs have come from previous designs for as long as humans have been engaging in arts, crafts, and architecture. There are enough design differences between the Andersen and Johansson chairs that the term "knockoff" is not applicable. Knockoffs refer to unlicensed attempts to duplicate a design as close as possible, usually in a cheaper manner, with the idea of passing it off for the original. E.g. There are many Eames DCW and LCW knockoffs in the marketplace. There are also Thonet plywood chairs which might be confused as Eames chairs ... | |||||

And there might be differences between warp and weft. Hope it helps. | |||||
| I think this is an Illum | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Kyle Barrett | Identification | |
| I think this is an Illum Wikkelso chair. It is very similar looking to the Round chair by Wegner, but the construction of the two chairs is fairly different. I think the first way to tell it's not a round chair is the joint in the Wegner round chairs between backrest and armrest are beautiful pointed finger joints. Whereas this is a carved solid piece of wood. Among many other differences, this is always the one I look for. Wikkelso has to be one of my favourite Danish designers. I love the Round chair as much as anybody, but I probably like this chair equal ... | |||||

He recently did a great job on a Womb chair for me and while I was picking up my chair he was working on 3 other Wombs plus a Florence Knoll sofa. He also has a lot of experience with Danish pieces such as Egg chairs and Swan chairs, but I don't know if he has ever done a Papa Bear before. Considering the chair is a simpler shape than the Egg or Womb, I would think he could handle this. That being said, I should ask him if he plans on using horsehair and flax or just foam ... | |||||

Here in Germany you can still find them here and there. The main difference between Fanett chair and your chairs is the number of spindles. Fanett has 6, your chairs have 7. Also the shape and size of the seat is wider at Fanett. | |||||

Again, I realize this would be highly unusual/expensive/impractical, but visually it's difficult to deny, especially when compared to other examples where the veneer-on-stained-beech-ply construction is far more obvious (e.g., the set of rosewood Poul Volther dining chairs I also have at the moment - very clear difference in colour/character between the veneer and ply on the back rests). | |||||

| A Safari chair by Klint have: - 3 screws to attach the leather strap armrest to the chair legs (front and back). - uncarved legs (Klint did not like ornament much). Additionally, you can clearly see on your pictures that the wooden backrest support goes out on both side, top and bottom. On Klint's chair, it only goes out at the bottom (top is sewn). There are probably hundreds of other differences but with these 3, you'll be able to spot a Klint Safari chair easily. | |||||

| Good Question! Unfortunately, I haven't a good answer. Just thought it was curious that billyboy's two chairs displayed obvious differences and that you'd like to be aware of such. BTW, is that your place in the photo? If so, nicely done. Interesting aesthetic and great pic (except for perhaps the folding chair)! ;^) | |||||

| Facts: You want color consistency It is not sun bleached It has wax on it So, the wax needs to come off, because tinted oil, which is going to be your ultimate solution, will not stick to wax The underlying oil or oxidized wood or whatever is causing the color differences may come off while you are working on getting the wax and exisiting finish off. When you have removed the existing finish(es), take some photos and post them back here and I will try and help you. | |||||

| I know there's a tonal difference between the legs and the veneer but it's walnut as far as I am concerned, based on this series of photos. The pores of the wood are too frequent to be as a dense as the majority of rosewoods, also those pores are very fine. Whereas most rosewoods have fewer thick and occasionally quite black pores. I call them pores as the term 'grain' gets used interchangeably with the word 'figuring'. I am not really discussing the colouring or visual patterns.
