Here I am trucking along refinishing a table I though was Erik Buch for CJ Rosengaarden, CJR stamp on the metal table support, internet images of said table listed as Buch. When today in good day light, I take off one of the pedestal legs to see the Vejle Stole stamp on the table bottom. Now I am all confused. I can't find any listings for this table in a cursory search, no Danish furniture index results.

So wise sages of Design Addict, does anyone know who made this table? Photos attached.

More photos. Also, can I just say the colour difference after restoration is amazing.

First time I hear about CJ Rosengaarden but Vejle Stolefabrik is a well known maker.

My guess is that CJR is just the maker of the metal mechanism. The table is a Vejle one.

And that is the beauty of attributions:

CJ Rosengaarden is actually a designer that not only made tables for Vejle but also for the Finnish Asko. Nice!

Merci.

We get a lot of Kjaernulf dining tables up for resale in Toronto, but I've never seen anything like this one. And I did read that CJR metal frames grace many different tables by different designers. I wonder if there's anyway to distinguish via mark which tables are designed by him vs metal components only.

Isn't it also possible this is a Frankenstein job? Where some legs were mixed up and accidently put on the incorrect table top at a retailers (after import)?
