Would love to ID the manufacturer/ designer. Very similar to Peter Hvidt and Orla Molgaard-Nielsen tiered table for France & Son.

It is stamped, but I can not understand it:-( Do you know?

@amber5. Looks like Brande Mobelfabrik. Hard to make out the rest of the stamp.

Yes, Brande was what I was going to say.

Probably it's not Brande. I can only find Brande Moebelindustri, not Brande Moebelfabrik. I'll check other possibilities.

@herringbone. According to the list posted by Dr Poulet of the Danish Furniture makers control members ( 1963) Brande Mobelfabrik is listed but not Brande Mobelindustri.

Here's a similar stamp but with designer J. Clausen.  Amber's stamp obviously has a longer name - H. Rosengren Hansen maybe?  I see an AN in the right place but can't make out much else.

@lexi  Seeing your stamp, I think I can almost make out the same format and names on Amber's with the "AN" of Brande in the right position.  I did not see a table like hers but this marked coffee table by Clausen for Brande has a similar lipped edge.

@lexi @mark737 @amber5 To get things right and maybe give some background I just found: Brande is a town with about 7500 inhabitants. In the middle of the 60s there were at least five furniture factories located there, one of them was Brande Møbelfabrik, founded by Jørgen Clausen in 1957, another was Brande Møbelindustri, founded by Sophus Madsen and later taken over by Henry Rosengren Hansen. Both factories had nothing to do with each other. The table in question was obviously produced by Brande Møbelfabrik and heavily inspired by Hvidt and Mølgaard. It's possible that Jørgen Clausen himself drew the furniture for the company, but often times smaller companies also hired one of the many lesser known (or unknown) furniture designers for the job.
