| Kofod Larsen Vintage Knockoffs or Non-Selig Production? | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | cdsilva | General discussion | |
| ... #626-15 chair and #626-84 sofa. For the chair, the two obvious differences are 1) the seat framing shape and supports: spring loop coils vs elastic straps, and 2) six back rest slats instead of seven. For the sofa, in addition to the same details above, I can find no other case of a four-seat 90" version of this design by Selig or Kofod Larsen. Has anyone come across these designs before? Are they vintage knockoffs of the Kofod Larsen design for Selig, or is it a vintage licensed design made by another company with some different details. From the photos, t ... | |||||
| Viko by Baumritter? Knock-offs? | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | bmlevan | General discussion | |
| I found these chairs at a thrift store in Statesville, NC. They are very reminiscent of Viko by Baumritter but have some definite differences. I am trying to figure out the maker. There is no manufacturer on the bottom of the chair. The materials tag is in tact but it does not list the maker either. All of the dates on the tag list the late 1920s. I know this references the material laws, but I have seen similar baumritter chairs with much later dates and similar materials. Does anyone have any knowledge to add? I feel like this may be an early set, or even ... | |||||

| ... I did google AT31, AT34, etc. before posting here. There are also some slight differences: * On AT32/AT33 the shelf stick out of the end stretchers for about 1 cm. It doesn't on my table. * On AT32/AT33, the end strechers are straight. They are curvy on my ATxx. * the legs of AT32/AT33 are fully vertical (90°), the legs of my table are a little lean. I will take some better, more detailed pics tomorrow. | |||||

I am pretty confident (even though the I was a little concerned at first about the differences in the front finishes) because the side view the wood matches. If that makes sense | |||||

| Please Help Identify these Le Corbusier/Anton Lorenz Style Chairs | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | lucas8930 | General discussion | |
| Hi there, I am hoping someone can help me identify these dining chairs. They are from my mother-in-law's house and she probably purchased them in the seventies or eighties. To me, they seem to be reminiscent of the Le Corbusier LC7 and the Anton Lorenz SS33 but with obvious differences. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks, Ilissa | |||||
| Eames 'time life' lobby chairs; early Vitra versions or Herman Miller? | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| Hi Guys, I am new on this forum. I recently purchased two Eames 'time life' Lobby Chairs. They are in very good condition and in nice cognac tan. There are some elements 'I can not place' which are quite different to Herman Miller versions. The main differences are: - The black powder coated frame underneath the pillow has a different shape. The brackets (screwed under the pillow) are L-shaped while the Herman Miller versions have flat shaped brackets. - The rectangular of the mechanism is much more bigger and the spindle is in a different place. - The lever ... | |||||
| Eames Sofa Compact: new or vintage? | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | DJV | General discussion | |
| Dear readers, I'm considering to purchase an Eames Sofa Compact. But I've got some questions. Hope you can help. Four questions: 1. What's the best purchase / investment: buying a new one or a vintage one? 2. Are there any differences in production between a new and a vintage exemplar? For example, I know that the back of vintage versions can fold. Is this still the case with current new versions? 3. Has since its production in 1954 always been urathene foam used? 4. What upholstery is best? I am looking for a durable, not pilling, strong, beautiful, non-inf ... | |||||
| Can anyone tell me if my Sawbuck chairs are authentic? | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | Danny2425 | General discussion | |
| ... Expressly for Van Cleave Furniture Whittier Ca" the upholstery and patina indicate they were made in the 50s. I have done preliminary research into the authentic Sawbuck chairs and found a few differences. The back bracing is different and there are dowels that are covering screw holes on the arms and back bracings. As far as finding out the Maker of the chairs, I have absolutely no leads?? which leads me to the question? Can these be early prototypes from Carl Hansen&Son or Very early Era reproductions made in extremely high quality??? Any Thoughts?? any h ... | |||||

| Thanks indeed. Obviously your google skills are better than mine. And while the Modernica frame is very similar, including built-in slots along the side rails for the straps, there looks to be differences as well. 1) The back teak legs of the original appear to transition to beech framing below the armrest, while the Modernica uses walnut all the way up. 2) the crest rail appears to be constant depth in the original,while the Modernica gets narrower at the ends. Then again, maybe the internal framing was modified over the years, and there is an old one that ... | |||||

| political correctness asks to | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | objectworship | General discussion | |
| political correctness asks to be subverted* I don't think that anyone is exactly saying nay, at least not absolutely. The piece in question could be dropped right into Mark's place. While I appreciate it's "awesomeness" I do have some political differences with it, and what I perceive that it represents. Because of this I do view the premise of the unit to be fundamentally flawed. I guess now that I think about it, I can pretty confidently give it a more absolute nay. I'm not going to mix any molotov cocktails about it though. (insert smiling "emoticon") | |||||
| Verifying & Dating a Nessen Lamp | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | TinyArmada | General discussion | |
| ... generally in the design and the legs are identical as well the brass connector attaching the 3 legs to the sphere, the differences are however that my lamp has a decorative feature above the sphere, my sphere also has a brass scallop decorative feature and there is no ring at the base. I do note the Nessen lamps with the ring have the legs slightly in more as a ring on my model would be impractical. I am inclined to consider it could be an earlier piece as it seems to have Art Deco features and not as modern as the similar Nessen lamp done in the 40's. Sin ... | |||||
| Thanks MidCenturyQuirky, I | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Reamie | General discussion | |
| Thanks MidCenturyQuirky, I have been trying to educate myself quite a bit, I've bought lots of books and regularly trawl through them. I'm awaiting my copy of mid century modern complete! I did search for slat back retro/Danish/teak dining chairs as well as a host of other wording to no avail. I have managed to ID some things myself, even one or two for others here! I had looked at Wegner but dismissed that train of thought as the differences were significant. I'll keep looking and hope I come across a definitive answer, I do so like them! I love to hear all ... | |||||
