Is there a piece of teak perhaps 1/4" square inset along the top edges of the case? Can you photograph the handle more clearly? Is it a carved piece of teak with rounded ends set into a rounded slot?

I completely agree with your assessment of Dyrlund. Their earlier stuff is actually pretty nice, but somewhere in the 1960s it seems things got pretty bland. It almost seems like there were two Dyrlunds, and would not be surprised if they are/were two different companies, or maybe there was some major personnel change around this time?

Which label does it have on it? The standard red one, or the early blue one with the T-square and letters "DB"?

I have seen attributions of Vodder, Buck, and Ostervig to Dyrlund pieces, but I have not seen any concrete evidence that any of these individuals worked with them.

It seems Leif might know something about this particular piece.................?

by the way, if you are looking to throw those Cado wall standards back there out, let me know. I will rescue them.

There are a lot of features of Svend Aage Madsen for Falster. The legs and apron are not what I would expect though.

When I was researching online I did run into some Falster pieces and noticed that the teak handles are very similar. But the legs like you state are different so I went on with my search. I did find the one 1stdibs listing saying it was Dyrlund. I know that 1stdibs is far from the end all be all when it comes to representing proper attributeations. So I figured I would ask.

Any thoughts on how to go about the handle? Thanks!

I wouldn't pay 1stDibs any attention. Especially now.
