They look like they are leather and rosewood, and have a very Norwegian feel to them. They strongly resemble a Vatne Mobler piece I saw not too long ago (maybe Fredrik Kayser or Knut Saeter), but I was not able to find a reference to this exact design under Vatne.

The one picture of the leg, almost looks like the lower support structure is made from Afromosia, but this is really difficult to tell from photos. Afromosia would support Norwegian construction. The detail on the back leg will definitely be something to key into when looking for a match.

I know somone else on the forum will probably know this one off the top of their head, let's see.....

Dear Zephyr,

Thank you very much for your help. In fact they are in rosewood, a wood Portuguese like very much. In the sixties lots of nordic furniture was sold in Portugal but in fact we also have lots of copies "Portuguese made". Although this, I'm convinced that they are of nordic origin because there is a round label (about 1 ,5 cm diameter, that we can not seen the inscription because it is vanished), but Portuguese furniture makers in the sixties don't have the practice of labeling the furniture.

The auction site states that Torbjorn Afdal was the designer, but clearly something published is more trustworthy and useful.
