Is this by HP Hansen?  

You might also try seaching for Bernhard Pedersen, maybe.

Thanks for the advice. I looked at a bunch of BP credenzas/sideboards, but it was similar to the Hansen's; some similarity, but most of the BP pieces have rounded tab or inset handles, much like the Hansen one's. A lot of the BP pieces also go all the way to the ground (flush base).

I just can't find any examples with the "rounded" long handles of the piece in the picture. I'm faily sure it's a quality piece from some of the detailing, but I'd like to figure out what it is before I make that call (and get a sense of value). You'd think those handles would show up somewhere... unless it's a custom knock-off of a Hansen?

What a pain... if anyone else happens to have a lead or some advice I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Rick

Finally sound another "family example", I'm guessing the credenza was sold with/without the additional hutch as an option.

The only additional intelligence is that this one was sold by Otmar's in OH, though who they got it from (or whether they made it themselves) is unknown.

Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? 🙂

Thanks,

Rick

Looks very similar to a piece I have seen attributed to Johannes Anderson for Silkeborg... don't see any examples with the middle drawers, though. That would be my guess? The Silkeborg bit, anyway. Not sure about the designer.

Thank you mgee76!!!

You rock, that's it. Quick search showed some tambour fronted versions that had the matching handles, deeper search found a few examples of labeled versions that matched the design, handles, etc. The handles are really distinct, so once I found anything with them labeled I could unwind it.

Really appreciate the help! Hopefully I can use this to uncover a little more detail.

Thanks!

I would be cautious with the Johannes Andersen attribution.

I saw several of these on the web and while it is by CFC, I have not found a solid proof for this attribution.

Yes, the name of Johannes Andersen is kind of automatically associated with CFC but while he did design a lot of pieces for them, the company was active until 2003.

The marked examples I have seen online had the red logo which is a later one. Not sure when they started with this one but I would guess somewhere in the 1970s and J. Andersen (1903-1997) was already an old gentleman then.

i saw similar one made by "dyrlund".

While some have roundovered front edges, most of the Dyrlund's I've seen use tabbed or recessed handles. There are a few that use a handle design similar to the Silkeborg one's, it's much smaller. Those styles also seem to always include flush flour mounted bases, not feet. Attaching a quick example of one without drawers (tambour only)

DrPoulet, the best example I found is probably this one at Pamono:

https://www.pamono.com/vintage-oak-sideboard-by-johannes-andersen-for-cf...

It's essentially identical, with the exception being the coloring/stain... and I don't think the one's I included above are oak (but I could be mistaken). Even if it was a "later run" on the same design, wouldn't it still be an Anderson design? I'm not sure he loses attribution for being the designer regardless of how old he is.

Best,

Rick

Forgot the image

Hi Rick,

I am not saying it is not by Johannes Andersen. I just don't know as I haven't found your sideboard in any of the sites I usually check. And I do not trust any attribution unless I have a solid proof of it.

The fact that the examples of your sideboard (#230) and its close cousin without the drawer (#235) I found on internet all that later logo and that the overall design of the piece looks more 70ish to me (but I am no expert) make me doubt even more.

Too bad you don't have additional pictures, I am very curious is yours has the red or the blue logo 🙂

Nice. The maker's name by the way is one of two things: CFC or CF Christiansen. There is another different company that was named Silkeborg M

Consider this coffee table. It is almost always said to be Johannes Andersen for CFC Silkeborg (again the name should just be CFC; you wouldn't say Herman Miller Zeeland).

I have documentation that shows it was designed by J. Linde.

So just because everyone says it does not make it so.

Interesting. I was just going off of pictures and bad listings. I like the logo, now that I can see it. The similar model I had in mind, complete with red logo:

These details can't be any earlier than the mid 60s. The exposed particleboard substrate and the pneumatic staples. Might be as late as the 70s sometime too.

I am not saying it is a Johannes Andersen design, but he was still designing in the mid-60s at least.
