| Looking forward to photos! | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| Looking forward to photos! There is a lot of variation in Aasbjerg's furniture. It was low volume and his later catalogs invite custom orders. Many of his customers knew him personally. Pilots would fly in to a nearby airfield to come visit and shop. So I wouldn't be surprised that a piece shows some differences. It could bethe design evolves or it could be a semi-custom order. | |||||

| Thanks Spanky. I had used your advice to good affect when I did a pair of Hvit/Molgaard chairs with binding cane a little over a year ago. I thought I would check and see if you had done this particular pattern at some point, and might have some insighst on whether or not there were any differences doing a pattern where the cane crosses over itself. Now that I am a bit further along with doing it, I am guessing that the cane should be about as taut as it was when I did the Hvidt chairs. I worry a little about getting it too taut, because the cane can get ... | |||||
| I would feel quite confident | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| I would feel quite confident in saying they are from the same maker. Absolutely 100%. Obviously not the same model, but it is quite useful to learn to recognize different things from the same maker, which details are important differences and which details would vary. I don't know who made the table, but I would say it is later, maybe late 70s or 80s. There was a time when chunky butcher block teak with a fat roundover was a thing. And I would be surprised to discover a designer proper was involved. By this time the Danish industry was not exporting new des ... | |||||
| Hey Zephyr, | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | billyboy | General discussion | |
| Hey Zephyr, Many thanks for the link! It may not tell us anything about the designer/maker but there are interesting differences between this table and mine which are enlightening and I'm grateful to you for having brought this link to my attention :). Firstly, my table top is 20cm shorter in length. Secondly, my table is 10cm higher than the one you found. While there are definite similarities, the version you found is, to my mind, much more balanced in it's design and far more elegant than the version I have which, with it's extra height and shorter overha ... | |||||
| A wiping varnish seals the | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Zephyr | General discussion | |
| A wiping varnish seals the wood, but differently than shellac. A varnish is a surface film-building finish. If you are interested in understanding more about what these finishes are, and the differences take a look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCzblO0f8P8 Shellac is used to penetrate the wood and seal from within, so-to-speak. Shellac also builds a film when used as a top coat, but that is a different discussion. Sealing the wood from within, like Shellac does, is no longer an option for you, since you have all that finish already applied. Dani ... | |||||
| What about making an entirely | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| What about making an entirely separate "tray" consisting of a hardwood frame with woven cord? You can skip the nail issue and just wrap the warp strands completely around the frame instead of hooking them on an L nail inside the frame. There are slight differences in the end but you can still have the same overall look and weave pattern. It could just rest on the rails of the trolley and would be a completely reversible alteration---just lift it out and put the teak trays back in place. I don't know how it would look aesthetically but you'd have to balanc ... | |||||

| I don't know, I got it from... I don't know, I got it from a thrift shop, I assumed it was older. Here are some pics of the undercarriage! And the best close up grain pic I could get of the legs. When doing a google image search the closest examples I could find are all being described as pearsall for craft associates or pearsall inspired sofas. I am not an expert in the construction differences between modern and older pieces, I have allways kind of loosely gone by flathead screws mean likely older and Philips, Allen, hex, ect.. Are likely newer pieces. | |||||
| Here is the Sergio Rodrigues | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| Here is the Sergio Rodrigues connection. The biggest similarity for me are the solid rosewood corner blocks. But there are some important differences: -Second side is felt, not leather -Rosewood is book-matched, not box-matched -Legs are vertical, not angled slightly out -Legs are thicker, and with a less 'elegant' taper Has anyone seen one of these in person? Anyone have thoughts of whether this is similar enough to think Sergio Rodgries could have designed the table. https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/tables/game-tables/rosewood-game-table... | |||||

| As it so happens, I have a red PH 4/3 hanging above my stair landing right now. Attached are photos of the condition I found it in (it did clean up nicely). My version has the loose disk on the top, but I'm not sure how old it is. (Edit: based on the original hanging cloth cord, I would say it's not a recent version.) Not sure if I've ever seen the single formed top before. Both mine and the eBay fixture are missing the red metal disk reflector in the bottom oculus. On a related note, one of the key identifying differences between a PH 5 and a PH 50 is that ... | |||||

| Well, I recognize that it's not a definitive attribution. This Krrb citation of this chair as Risom shows a different back cushion, and so might also just rely on some Risom echo chamber attributing this frame shape to him, but have a look. https://krrb.com/posts/133708-jens-risom-side-chair-with-walnut-arms I'm noting the dimensions, arm shape, rails under the seat cushion, and the wooden rail behind the back cushion. Whoever the designer and maker, our chairs all match in the frames. Other images that come up when I Google Image Search "Risom office side ... | |||||
| Hot D#$%^&* that is good | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| Hot D#$%^&* that is good looking! That isn't the same chest as in the advertisement and catalog, but it might be Aasbjerg anyway. There are a few differences from what I am used to seeing, but as this sideboard illustrates, a few differences might still be close enough. Differences: It is not actually teak. Solid rosewood. And unless I am mistaken that is one solid board top to bottom. the dovetail scribe marks are still visible on the outside of the chest (Aasbjerg's are visible inside, but not out) Never seen those legs on an Aabjerg, but this doesn't me ... | |||||

| ... know the chairs with the footrests are a bit more difficult to find, so I am just looking for info - knockoff? A few noticeable differences include the armrests (which are not upholstered), the proportion of the chair (not genuine eames I assume), along with the screws seen from the exterior. The fabric is perfect (and not cheap at all), but as you can see it has a couple of scuffs in the wood on the back. Thanks for any info you can provide so I can go further on the restoration. Knowledgeable group here! | |||||
| This one/That one | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | objectworship | General discussion | |
| This one/That one I can find some subtle differences here. I don't know how old my chair is (EDIT- it's from the early 60s), it's certainly later than the one in question. Your runners look slightly longer in the rear and tapered more, more slim. It seems like the wires may also be slimmer, though I can't tell if this is just perspective/lack of dirt. Who's got pictures of older legitimate bases? What does the seller say about where it came from? the bolts, the weld, etc. Hmm. | |||||

| Oh yes Leif Ericson, it's the same design, but different construction. The desk in the link you provided has the mitered joints, while the one I was considering as an acquisition has the butted joints. I have also seen examples with butted joints measuring 55" long, and made in both rosewood and teak. Thank you for the link. It's good to see the example you found with the label intact. Thank you Spanky for pointing out some glaring issues that I embarrassingly overlooked. I'm pretty sure that the compact version also had 3 drawers, but your observations abou ... | |||||
