	Hello from Florida	1 Relevance	5 years ago	FloridaMike	Repair
	... have or if they do, they don't care, they just want it gone. I have gotten some astonishing deals by following Craigslist, and even a few items at thrift shops! All teak of course, the only other furniture I buy is steel shelving for my hangar/workshop/man cave. A lot of it is Scan Design, they sell some really expensive good stuff and also a secondary line of "budget" furniture. I've been able to get examples of both. Occasionally, I see IKEA items, but usually pass on them. The designs are good but the quality is sometimes lacking. IKEA has only been avai ...
	RE: Madsen & Schubell or Kofod Larsen	1 Relevance	5 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	Identification
	On a related note, it should be said that there is no distinguishing characteristic for an “Arctander Clam” chair. Arctander did not design the Clam chair so there is no Arctander chair to distinguish. The Clam was designed by Arnold Madsen. Paustian produces new Clams following Arnold Madsen’s design but without the permission of Arnold’s heir and miscrediting them to Arctander. Likewise, with the Oda Chair, there is no distinguishing characteristic for a “Ditzel Oda” chair. Nanna ditzel did not design it, so there is no chair to distinguish. The Oda ...
	RE: Authentic Papa Bear?	1 Relevance	5 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	Identification
	... fabric, but it has been years, and I was able to use the presence of the selvedge on the original pieces and the direction of the warp and the weft to work out the puzzle of how AP had fit the pieces into that length. Certain pieces need to be at a specific orientation, primarily the two panels that form the inside of the wings, so that the stretch where your elbow goes is on the bias. The very difficult parts to do without a template are 3: 1. the backrest is done as one piece of fabric, but with tapering folds/darts stitched in creating the grid where t ...
	RE: Authentic Finn Juhl 53 chair?	1 Relevance	3 years ago	cdsilva	Identification
	I don't know the FJ-53 very well. It is not one of my favorite FJ designs. The poor re-upholstering effort, and lack of detailed frame photos, makes it more difficult to confirm whether this is legit production. The bad knockoffs, often sold at Kamelot Auctions in Philly, are easy to tell, and the OP's chair is not one of those. Also, I thought that brass tubing was the primary spacer material that Niels Vodder used for the FJ-53. The tubing on the OP's chair looks to be black metal. Perhaps legit production shifted at some point from brass to black metal? I ...
	RE: Finn Juhl Chieftain chair arm rest replacements	1 Relevance	3 years ago	Herringbone	Repair
	What about plywood? How difficult would it be to press a piece of plywood in shape? Or steel: Vodder had it simply hammered or planished I think, by a blacksmith. Not as fancy as printing but couldn’t it also be an option?

	... types of rosewood, is prohibited or at least regulated. In order to sell a piece of furniture made of Rio rosewood, you need a special CITES certificate, if you do not have one, you risk making yourself liable to prosecution. Many vintage dealers in Europe have wondered why the customs authorities were at their door at six in the morning. Inquire with your competent authorities what you have to do, then you are on the safe side. https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/corporate/international-affairs/partnerships-organizations/convention-trade-e ...
	RE: SOS Møbelfabrik	1 Relevance	5 years ago	Herringbone	Identification
	... every year in furniture revenue. So let’s say they only had 300 producers of chairs (although I think there were more) and every one of them had an average of seven models in their range, that would have been 2100 different chairs at one particular time. But how many different chair designs could you possibly come up with? And how difficult was it to get a proper furniture architect to design something original for you? Copying was an easy way to get around these problems and participate nonetheless. So smaller companies copied whatever they felt would suit ...
	RE: Lurashell ?	1 Relevance	5 years ago	bartlebobton	Identification
	... no mediocre styles, they just went for it, I'm guessing, but I suppose there would have been a premium price on them. It is odd there is so little written about them, when searching for information I found their factory/offices/warehouse buildings in Ware (Herts) were up for sale in March this year, that got me to wonder if there would be the odd faded picture/poster of a chair or two on a wall somewhere; I'm half tempted to drive up there and have a look around. I pulled one of my chairs apart yesterday, the weirdest thing are the fixings for the fabric; ...
	RE: Lauritz.com declared bankrupt	1 Relevance	3 years ago	Browkin	Identification
	... table.Overall I was only moderately satisfied with the service. Among other things, I had to run after my money for a long time due to a bank error by Lauritz. Lauritz later admitted it was their fault. That was about 2 years ago. The last armchair only found its buyer a few months ago. Also, the sale price had only reached the minimum price. At the time, Lauritz gave the reason that container shipping had become much more expensive due to the pandemic crisis and the difficulties in China. As a result, retailers would only order moderate amounts. Or the bu ...
	RE: Hans Wegner CH23 Chair. What To Look For?	1 Relevance	2 years ago	Herringbone	General discussion
	@davidhunternyc The cross joint at the backrest is a good indicator. It is quite complicated to make, so usually copies come without it. Since, as you said, the CH23 is a factory made chair - as opposed to the Cowhorn - the prices have always been lower. So it would have been quite difficult for a knock off producer to get this detail right and still cut enough time and effort to sell the chair cheaper and still make a good margin. As for value: I dont think there is a version more valuable than others, but you can compare the prices they fetched at auction ...
	RE: Teak bar cart	1 Relevance	2 years ago	cdsilva	Identification
	Patinaed teak and walnut can be difficult to ID sometimes. If you zoom in with a camera or magnifying glass, the canals in walnut would be straight, while the teak canals would be squiggly (when viewed in side grain). I also looked around for those casters, and French bar carts with the same casters popped up a few times. If I were to make an educated guess right now, I would say your bar cart is mid-century French walnut.
	RE: Walter Knoll vs Knoll	1 Relevance	1 year ago	Herringbone	General discussion
	... furniture and was eventually acquired by Rolf Benz in the 1990s. The founder of Knoll, Hans Knoll, was Walter Knoll’s son. He established his company in the United States, undoubtedly building on the intellectual legacy of his father, but ran it entirely independently. Today, Knoll is part of MillerKnoll. It's difficult to compare the two companies, as they have little in common—even in terms of their target markets.
	The shop is such a damned	1 Relevance	10 years ago	mgee76	Repair
	The shop is such a damned mess that I try to crop photos as best I can... but thanks, tktoo. I agree about the masking difficulties, too; if it were the other way around, and I was hoping to mask the Mahogany, it might be easier. I'm leaning towards dying it all the same tone and then carefully staining only the Mahogany portions... but visualizing the results is kinda driving me crazy. Keeps coming back to a bland Lane Acclaim kinda look which is kinda cheating the materials, I think. Hrm. Topcoat will be lacquer.
