I dont think the Plycraft attribution is completely unrealistic, but the Cherner one is. I think it is going to be really difficult to find evidence of a maker, and even more so, for a designer, unless you stumble across it in a catalog somewhere. I would search for matches to the shape of the seat, as I suspect whoever made the telephone chair, probably also made sta ... | |||||

| Any other pictures, or information? type of wood? First inkling would be Westnofa and Ingmar Relling, but that is always the go to for a bentwood piece like this. The reverse cantilever and wingback are probably one of the more unique details of the chair, and I know Rykken/Rybo used the reverse canti in a lot of designs, more-so than Westnofa, I think. Pretty difficult to get more with just this picture..... | |||||

| emsy84, Spanky is very correct in the use of 3M* spray adhesive. You may obtain a MSDS from the manufacturer. A respirator as opposed to a pollen mask is a must. I contract "outside" sources to clean vintage or delicate fabrics. Cleaners qualified to refresh and maintain couture clothing are the best bet. I also use the same vendor for vintage US flags. *3M has no equal in cyanoacrylates, epoxies and spray adhesives. They also have excellent technical assistance. Small quantities may be difficult to purchase from distributors (no broken cases). | |||||

| I did not get a table but am super happy and enamored with the six chairs. I sanded down some parts and it is all cherry. Again, beautiful design. requisite articulations. Smacks of Hans Wegner, Borge Mogenson... Can't wait to sand the cherry clean again! Not to mention, very difficult to get these chairs apart. | |||||

| Ramie, Thank you for the positive comment on the Icycle chamberstick. I list it as excess capacity. It has been recorded, categorized, packed and put in storage Ease and luck have not got me to where I am today (we all take our own path). I have several ways of getting what I desire that range from simple to difficult. This forum is a viable option (see David Baird table lamp identification on this forum). | |||||

| ... there was a RRP on vintage furniture (and probably much less fun for us as well). A valuation also greatly depends on why you need it. I mean, it will be different wether you want to sell or buy. And if you want to sell, are you a dealer with a well established shop or a private person that is selling on ebay? Like many on this forum, I like to buy furnitures. I also live in a 80 m² flat which means that I often resell stuff. Upgrade, upgrade, upgrade... I guess what I want to say here is that I have experience on both side: buying and selling. Now, to the ... | |||||

| Thanks for the photos and your comments. I like the table in your last photo, and I see that it definitely is made with parts whose grain direction follows the limbs, up and down. The central hub is one logical way to achieve the radiused sweep at the junction, seen from above, without the trouble of carving those curves from the leg members themselves, a difficult and wasteful move. The neat appearance of the central node does not, however, explain what's going on inside. This form is like a ballet dancer doing a split while holding a heavy drinks tray o ... | |||||

| Have you checked where the fabric behind the back cushions meets the leather at the top? If it's by Mogensen for Fredericia you should be able to slide your fingers between. It's difficult to see from the photo' but if there is the same wood as the legs running horizontally around the underside of the sofa it would be typical of Mogens Hansen. | |||||
| Don't give me too much | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| Don't give me too much benefit of the doubt. It is free advice after all, and I am just as crazy as the next cuckoo in the nest. And some clarification would be good. If the DO is fully dry after the proper amount of time, then it is a problem below, and the best way forward would be to remove it all first. I have to assume that my shellac application technique is wretched as I can't help but get streaks. I have found that it is not difficult to erase the streaks with 0000 steel wool between coats. | |||||

| ... But the piece you have could be esp tough (when it comes to putting the money and time into refinishing for resale) because it's a vintage reproduction of Jacobean revival style. There were many American furniture companies producing imitation antique styles from 1880-1950. Your best bet may be old Sears catalogs (pre-1940) they carried a lot of the various antique style furniture from a large variety of makers - and you may be able to find it in there. (Also you can probably get a copy of a old Sears catalog reprints at your local library) Just consider ... | |||||

Assuming your crack is as bad as your pictures show, you should apply several layers of fiberglass epoxy resin with fiberglass mat to strengthen that area on both sides. Then come back with the sander and work your way up to smooth out the repaired area (remember to wear proper protection as the fiberglass particles are nasty). Color matching will be difficult as your color is a off white, greige maybe parchment. On a few youtube videos people suggest saving the fiberglass powder and adding it to your epoxy resin...it will give a ... | |||||
| Placitas, | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | tchp | General discussion | |
| Placitas, Both your ottoman and your chair appear to me to be entirely legitimate as being produced by Niels Vodder. Why they are not marked is difficult to say, but for the age of the chairs and early time period they were from, it does not make sense to me that they could have been made by anyone else. Probably the best auction house you could make an inquiry to for information would be Bruun Rasmussen, in Denmark. They probably deal with more authentic early Finn Juhl pieces than anyone else, and would likely know if there were similar unmarked Chieftai ... | |||||

As an new upholsterer it was also a learning experience not to believe my client when she said the chair was straightforward and wouldn't need new foam or frame repairs. I also had to repair a huge stress fracture in the corner by the seat. Despite all of those challenges I learned a heck of a lot and my client was thrilled with grandma's chairs! One comment/question - I used Tropical Teak Oil Sealer in "Natural Light" and I was shocked at how orangy the wood became. Is this norma ... | |||||
