Hi

I've only just found this forum so apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place.

I've been offered a couple of Knoll tulip side tables. The photos are limited but I was wondering if anybody could give me an opinion of whether they might be genuine.

I can't see the Saarinen signature tag that the new tables have.

I've uploaded some photos.

Big thanks.

Steve

Just heard back and apparently the tables don't have any Knoll markings or imprints... other than the Made In Italy stickers.

No idea of age but I understand the mesh on the underside might indicate the last 30 years? Really appreciate some help with these.

Thanks again.

Tables look good to me. The stickers indicate that they were manufactured for Knoll in November of 2002.

That's fantastic thanks. Really appreciate the reply.

I thought it was odd to see a fake in the Calacatta marble but everyone seems to be telling me it should have a Knoll stamp or a signature strip on there somewhere.

Thanks.

It is marked Knoll! Don't you see the "K" to the right of the Made in Italy?

Yes I do see that. I also know that these stickers can be bought by the roll so just having a paper sticker on it didn't see like proof to me.

Like I said, there's no Knoll *stamp*, imprint or a Saarinen signature tag.

I'm reiterating my LGTM. Sandman1600, nothing about those tables looks wrong to me.

Thanks very much. I picked them up at the weekend. Really pleased. Wanted a tulip side table for some time and it's lovely. Thanks again.
