Wood type?  

Afrormosia it is. Which piece is this? I like Afrormosia a lot and am always curious what pieces were executed in it. There are actually quite a large number of really well known and valuable designs executed in it, or using a substantial amount of it.

Thank you Leif for your help! I have read about afrormosia here but had no idea how it is supposed to look like exactly.
The piece is a planter made by Brdr. Dalsgaard that cdsilva helped me id here:

Do you know something about them? I haven't been able to find much on the internet.

Not really. The design is well represented in catalogs from the early 60s. Apparently they are afrormosia, I love the nice dark color that it has become.
I mean what else are you hoping to find out?

Actually I was hoping to find a bit more about the furnituremaker. I am always curious about the stories behind my vintage stuff and I am a little frustrated with the fact that apart from this planter, the only Brdr. Dalsgaard piece I have been able to find is that teatrolley:

Any info would be greatly appreciated, really.

Find the Brothers Dalsgaard or their children in Brørup. They have all the answers.

I finally managed to find a contact after 2 month (I don't give up that easily indeed).
I could not find any Dalsgaard in Brorup in the phone directory so I turned to Vejen municipality. After researching their archives, they just came back at me with a name and adress.
A letter to Mr Dalsgaard is leaving today, let's see what will happen. I will keep you informed if I manage to get some useful information.
