'Johannes Andersen' Rosewood Sideboard  

Hi Josh,

I found a similar sideboard for sale, which is a longer version of yours.

The seller says it is by Jens Aerthoj and manufactured by Aerthoj Jensen + Molholm.

I fired off a quick e-mail to the seller enquiring about what documentation he had for his attribution;

His reply was a bit vague to be perfectly honest, ie; no label of maker remaining but some adhesive residue left and a "control" badge; he doesn't say what control badge!! Also a mention of having seen some marketing advert "floating about" years ago...etc. Very frustrating indeed!

Maybe someone more knowledgeable on the forum could weigh in.( My expertise extends to doing a Google image search and seeing where that takes me!)

Regards,

Lexi.

I recognise this photo from IG! Nice to see you here!

Aerthoj Jensen + Molholm is I believe what Bo Concept started out as. I think I saw a video on their website about that. I'll have a little dig about, but I have to say I know some designs they put out and I don't think this is one of them.

Came across another sideboard, same as the OP's.( 1st image) It is being sold as a Johannes Andersen for J. Skaaning & son. I made contact with dealer and they have made this attribution based on a sideboard/highboard in the Danish Desigm Museum site. ( link below) which I must say does have very similar pulls, legs etc No labels or markings on the piece currently for sale.They say they acquired it from original owner , who purchased it from a Scandinavian furniture store,in London, in the 60's

Johannes Andersen also designed the SK661 dry bar for Skaaning & son. ( well documented).

So this begs the question; Is this sideboard

1: made by J.Skaaning & son and designed by

a:-Unknown designer?

b: Johannes Andersen?

OR

2: none of the above!

Perhaps a more knowledgeable member could weigh in here?

Lexi.

ps; image of Skaaning mark below and as you can see it is not very "permanent"

If the information on the Danish Furniture Index is accurate then I would say it is indeed a Johannes Andersen for J. Skaaning design.
