Has anybody ever seen this makers mark and maybe knows who was behind it? I'm thinking of you, @cdsilva

Its from the bottom of an easy chair, Denmark, probably late 40s.

Hans Hansen and Son Mobelfabrik.

Based in Odense

Arne Wahl Iversen designed for them.

That mark doesn't pop up very often, and that is the best heat brand example that I have seen. I just realized that I may, or may not, have been reading this mark upside down.

Wow, thanks a lot. I was wondering if the circle at the bottom meant something or not. It‘s O for Odense. That helps.
You probably didn’t read it upside down. There‘s a plane (plain?, you know what I mean) down there, so ....
