We have a very lovely teak and afrormosia dining table we're trying to ID. It has a partial label which we've matched to another fill one showing the logo. The only "NM" I know of is Naestved Mobelfabrik, but the labels/brands I've seen don't look like this. Any ideas?

How about a photo of the table in question?

It's in pieces at the moment. I can try to get some this week. It's a typical draw-leaf table. Pertinent details may be: Teak top/leaves with dark Afrormosia edge banding, apron and legs. The legs are unusual in that they are oval in section (and tapered as well). Very much like the oval Hvidt/Soborg table legs. One bolt, not two, per leg. Nut, not wing-nut. Leg tops have impressed model number and leg number. Wooden leaf supports (not metal.) Legs do not splay.

kind of a stab in the dark, but it kind of looks like the Nieman Marcus "NM". I dont even know if they sold furniture in the 1950/60s, but I also cannot think of any Scandinavian furniture makers with "NM" as initials, except N

Hi Zephyr,

I'm pretty sure that both the addresses are where the pieces were shipped to. These labels are from two different pieces. I'm pretty sure that top line is the furnituremaker's info. The logo, description and model number. Why didn't they just write out the name of the shop, dammit?!

They didn't write out the name because they were Danes. It was (and perhaps still is) a cultural thing. The full name was very intentionally held back.
