I acquired this side table and wondered if anyone has any idea what it is? It has three circular cut-outs on the lower shelf (what could these be for?) and attractive curved legs. There appears to be the residual of a label on the underside. Thanks!

@pompelmo I think the cut-outs do not belong there. Somebody made them for whatever reason. Otherwise the insides of the cut-outs would have been veneered.

Thanks, Herringbone, that makes sense since the rest of it seems pretty nicely made. Have you ever seen other pieces with front curved legs like this?

Odd little thing for sure. My first thought was that the cutouts were meant to hold plant pots.

More photos might help.

Here are some more pictures: the cut-outs; the underside with tag remnants; a closeup of the curved wood leg; and the underside of the top. Thanks again!

@pompelmo I‘ve certainly seen curved legs like this. They scream 60s/70s. 

I see an aesthetic connection to designs like these:

Thanks, Herringbone. That first table you posted looks very similar to mine. Do you know what that is?

 

Edit: I just found it with Google image search, Arne Hovmand Olsen. I will look at more pictures to compare. Thanks again!

@pompelmo

Methinks it's a drinks trolley that has lost its inserts for the cutout bottle wells. Certainly Mogens Kold - like.

@herringbone

Is there a connectivity issue with the DA site today? Maddeningly sloooooow here...

Tktoo -- yes, a bar cart sounds plausible to me, since the bottom piece is clearly a part of the original, and what would be the purpose of a space like that with no drawers or cut outs? But, it would've been awkward to take bottles from it with the other shelf only 10" above....

@pompelmo

The top seems meant to lift off for use as a tray or possibly be repositioned 90 degrees? Also, check bottoms of legs for evidence it may have had casters.

@tktoo I also noticed that the site was slow yesterday. No idea why. Not because of spam bots, that's all I can tell. There were only a hand full around, just as usual.

@pompelmo @tktoo Not sure about a drinks trolley. The construction still looks a bit weird to me. But then again I found this table with a kinda similiar setup. 

Could you maybe post a picture of the whole thing? What does the top look like?

By the way: It doesn't look very Danish to me. I could be wrong - as usual - but is this walnut?
