Definitely Risom.

I know very little about this, but that drawer slide looks quite recent.

I have never seen this design before, but I agree that it has many of the hall marks of a Risom design. The general form/construction, the way the walnut is finished, everything screams Risom. Dont see anything out there on the web that matches it though...

could be risom... or marble furniture or gunlocke... from my little experience, risom used slotted pencil drawers, not steel slides. plus the secondary wood looks like oak. it should be walnut. do the legs have adjustable glides or simple steel discs? now, can someone help me out with my chair question????

Risom did use the metal drawer glides on some dressers, sideboards and desks that I've seen. Also I've never seen the insides of the drawers made out of walnut. The secondary wood has alway been oak, beech, or some other light tone wood.

Risom Design used metal slides on many of their later pieces, then after Dictaphone bought Risom Design, the metal slides were used on just about everything. I have a Marbel-Risom office credenza that uses metal slides. They are high-quality ball-bearing slides that allow you to pull a tab, and the whole drawer comes out. The secondary wood on Risom pieces that I have seen, has always been oak or Luan.

Regardless, this is all supposition that it is Risom at this point.

heres a pic of my risom pencil drawer. i know file drawers have steel slides but all mine are walnut inside, even the dividers, along with white micarta dividers. or they were stained to match the walnut. maybe options were available? it was the "mix and match" series of contract office furniture.

Looks like the maker will remain a mystery for now 🙂 Thank you all for your input!

Here is a catalog pic.
