Hello, I recently bought a credenza which was presented by the seller as an Aasbjerg rosewood. From all I have read on this wonderful forum, he did dovetail joints, not finger or box joints which I think were used on my piece.

Can anyone help with identification? Thanks

That is an Aasbjerg design. I can probably find the model number in a catalog. He also used finger joints sometimes on the corners of the cases. It may be that the finger jointed corners are later than the dovetails, as in later 60s or 70s, but I am not sure.

And it is teak, not rosewood. Solid teak stays much darker over the years than veneer, because there is a much larger supply of dark resin/oil inside the wood than in the thin veneer.

Thanks very much for sharing your expertise, Mr. Ericson. If it is not too much of an inconvenience, I would love to know the model number. I've noticed on previous threads dating back many years that you are a source of much valuable data. We all appreciate your efforts!

I don't have the piece in my possession yet, but the seller indicated it is 60" wide by 19.5" deep by 34.5" high.

That exact model is not in my 1962 Excellent Furniture Company catalog, so I can't tell you the model number.

I suspect that it is from post 1962 as I said above. But with Aasbjerg's company, it is possible that it could be a custom order. The catalog invites customization.
