Does this attribution seem right (Vodder desk)?

I have a chance to buy a desk just like this one, but I question whether it is really a Vodder design? I don't see it in the furnitureindex, although he designed a lot of desks there. Has anyone seen this desk before to confirm or deny its heritage?

No it does not seem right. I would go so far as to say that it is wrong.

The desk attribution might have come from the drawer details of this sideboard/credenza.
It is a good looking desk even without a designer attribution.

Morning all,
Came across the following images; unfortunately no labels!
Skeie mobelfabrik, Norway.
I have seen a set of their drawers in person and the drawer fronts are the same.
Hope this helps,
Lexi,

Thanks very much for the responses. Thanks Lexi - I never thought I'd know who made it if it wasn't by Vodder. This seems to be another case of a firstdibs dealer getting a bit ahead of themselves in making attributions. I do like the desk, and its a nice small size, so I may pick it up anyway (though it may need more work than its worth). Thanks again!

You are welcome.
One more image of the same desk in rosewood, which I must say is lovely!
Lexi.
