I recently purchased this desk at auction. It is very cool, but I haven't been able to figure out anything about it. It is 3 pieces. The main desk with middle shelf, the left side has a bookshelf with two small drawers, and the right side has three drawers in the front and a small bookshelf on the back. The two sides are on wheels.
It is not marked. At first look, I thought we was Danish, but the drawer pulls on the drawers on the right side seem strange for a Danish piece.
Any help you can offer to determine the origin, designer, and value would be greatly appreciated.
I should probably note that most of Vinde's in-house designs had fairly sharp lines (like the vanity). So Dyrlund, who tended to have more rounded edges, is probably closer to the target.
To complicate things further, I believe I saw the previously-posted vanity listed a few years ago with a Dyrlund sticker. My assumption at the time was that Dyrlund had bought up Vinde and kept a few pieces in production. Both targeted similar markets, and the Danish export industry was consolidating in the 70's. However, I never found any reference that backed up that guess. The similarity of the ring pulls would be another clue at a possible relationship between the two.
