Does anybody recognize these? I believe they were apparently purchased in the 60's, along with a lot of other iconic Danish stuff (Papa Bear chair, Finn Juhl chairs and table, Jacobsen Egg Chair, Wegner hutch for Ry, etc) from Illums Bolighus. All the items in the home have these brass tags on them, along with this bedroom set. Having trouble putting a finger on them, thought maybe somebody here had seem them before. Thanks!

They look American. So it is extremely odd that they have illums bolighus tags. Also, they look like solid wood, walnut maybe, yet the illums tag shows the exposed edge of plywood....
Can you post some photos of the drawer sides and bottoms?

Those were my thoughts, also, lief. I don't actually have these dressers... they belong to a friend of a family that is trying to tabulate everything after their parents, who obviously had awesome taste, have passed away. I will ask if she can take some more pictures.

Aha! I had posted the wrong image (she sent me a bunch). This clears up a little bit of the mystery, anyway... here is a picture of the back of the mirror. Obviously out of focus, but you can still see the Illums tag on there. Does look like Walnut.

I guess since you're here, I'll ask you about something else in the house... this coffee table? Looks kinda like Illum Wikkelsø? Also has an Illums tag, apparently, but I don't have any other pictures of it.

The coffee table is Aksel Kjersgaard. Designed by him maybe or Kai Kristiansen maybe. I don't think there is any documentation on that.
The mirror appears to be stamped in the corner of the picture. I think you need to get a picture of that stamp.

Good catch! I had mostly just disregarded that picture because it's so out of focus. I will try and see if she can't take some better shots. Thanks much.

the legs on the coffee table look a lot like those on my Lovig coffee table ... if it is lovig it will be stamped underneath.

The end table in that above image... marked Johannes Hansen. Somebody suggested that it may be a Wegner design? Here are some further terrible pictures of it.

That tray looks like Wegner to me, though more reminiscent of pieces manufactured by Andreas Tuck.
But WHOAH MISS LIPPY! Is that a Finn Juhl NV53 next to the tray? Please share some pictures of that!
Also, if any of these pieces are available for sale, please PM me. I am very interested in a few pieces I see, especially the NV53.

Good eye... yes, it is! Like I said, this house is apparently stacked. The list is pretty impressive.
