| No Again, it looks very similar to Jens Risom's Playboy chair. One of the few very noticeable differences is that Baughman's does not have a caned back rest. | |||||

| Grand Rapids is a long way from Copenhagen. Study of the many varieties of this basic form, so popular in the 'fifties and 'sixties, specifically exploration of examples which can be clearly assigned to one side of the Atlantic or the other, will eventually inform the student of the differences between "the real thing" and its offshore cousins . . . Enjoy ! | |||||

The authentic ones are solid and pointy bullet shaped, not duller pill shaped. The wood too. Every authentic one I've seen was either teak or ash with beech legs. The copies are usually made of wood that is hard to identify. Some look like teak, some like walnut or some other wood species with a stain applied. While one might like to think that there would be differences in pr ... | |||||

| ... easily predate that. Emailed a number of mid century dealers, all had not seen this before, one however wrote back with news their colleague "confirms it's a Risom". The uncertainty I have relates to the label, which mentions Formplan at the top right in the area typically for the designer. Any written notes on the label seem to have faded to nothing. I've not been able to find much on Formplan, other than the reference in this bio article on Kjell Grant. http://upperpool.rmit.edu.au/?p=572 As a comparison example, I found this Risom chair listed for sa ... | |||||

| ... would happily entertain the theory that I am wrong, but I really don't think this is a France and Søn piece I suspect that if you take detail photos I can point out a multitude of differences compared to France and Søn production. E.g. Hex screws and sockets that hold the sides on the sofa Ends of the front rail should have beech dowels set vertically into the rail. Metal tabs connecting the seat to the back. There should be an indentation in the wood in a specific place in relation to the gold paint filled stamp. And I could go on.... (The fact that ther ... | |||||

| ... posts that I've never seen on a Mogensen design before, and the odd construction of the this panel that has bent, which is very not like Søborg who were very good. Also the fact that the center panel is not the same type of substrate as the two cases is very suspicious (the center almost looks like Masonite from behind). I have some Søborg catalogs. I suspect I can find the two separate pieces. But I also would not be surprised if you discover that there are little differences in the construction that prove the center is not original. Perhaps the screws ar ... | |||||

| Thanks for the responses.... Thanks for the responses. The wood for both chairs had its original oiled finish, which cleaned up very nicely with the Howards' 1-2 punch. Can anyone with a vintage corded chair with natural aged finish (including any wear areas) post some close-up photos? I'd like to compare finishes with my chairs to get a better understanding of the differences. Thanks. | |||||

| or maybe Whitney Meyer?? I just stumbled across the chair below. It's dated 12-94 and bears many of the same hallmarks as the Leon Meyer rocking chair. However, it has some noticeable differences. 1) The armrests and rockers are a continuous curved piece of steel 2) it has a headrest that extends beyond the regular chair 3) it is signed Whitney Meyer.... Of course, I have not been able to find out anything about a Whitney Meyer... any ideas? | |||||

Broadly mis-matched grain and/or color will usually defeat a professional result. The above is particularly important on elements appearing on a given plane of the furniture piece. Turning the corner -- as from face to top -- helps disguise color differences; the top veneer can be somewhat different from the other faces without spoiling the appearance of the piece, in my experience. Now that the site has been redesigned, we have a separate ... | |||||
| Selig also did something sort | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| Selig also did something sort of, maybe similar with a dining chair design by Arne Hovmand Olsen for Mogens Kold (don't know the model number, but it looks a lot like a Møller chair, specifically the Møller 71). The MK and Selig chairs look superficially the same, but where the leg meets the backrest is very different, as well as smaller differences like square vs round legs). Critically, Selig does credit the design to Arne Hovmand Olsen. Not that it means much of anything, but again I reminds me of the modus operandi. edit: just remembered where I have t ... | |||||

| The frames are quite nice, | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| The frames are quite nice, and certainly not new. Thanks for the investigation. The differences between original painting and reproduction, including giclee, will be evident at the edges of the panel or stretched fabric, in any event. The texturing of the surface is troubling; it might even be a case of painting over previous work. A discreet sampling of the material, at an unseen edge, would determine whether oil or tempera is the medium. A dampened Q-tip would begin to melt the paint if it's water-based . . . What about the drawing/painting of the fem ... | |||||
