RY Mobler table id  

Good question. I did not know that RY made tables. The Salesco arrangement was that Andreas Tuck was the table maker. So perhaps this table is from after Wegner stopped designing for the Salesco companies, maybe.

hi leif,

and thanks for the info ... i'll dig deeper and see if i can find anything more based on your info.

it's interesting that you mention wegner as when i was looking online, the tops of some of the tables he produces for andreas tuck (like this one here https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/tables/dining-room-tables/rare-hans-we...) bears certain sililarities to mine (relatively thin, elegant, slightly rounded edge). it's just the central foot on my table that really doesn't seem to fit well with the top.

anyway, thanks as always for your help !

cheers,

p.s. and it's teak right ? attached another photo closeup of the grain and pic of the two leaves 🙂

Yes it is teak. And yes the table edge does match the profile that Wegner out on Andres Tuck tables.

RY also did not put a designed by Hans Wegner line in their markings. So I would not rule Wegner out.

There is another Wegner like characteristic to the table base: it separates to extend the table and the edges of the pieces are gently eased so that they are clearly separate pieces. This is similar to the Round Chairs front armrest joint that can not be made completely smooth, so Wegner emphasiszed it by easing the edges.

I am curious, can you take a photo of the edge of the edge banding? (By which I mean, open the table, and look where the edge banding was butted together). I am in possession of a round Wegner form Andreas Tuck table right now, and I am curious if this little detail matches.

Also, what do the leaf pins look like?

Also what do the table slides look like?

hi leif,

really interesting and such great info as always !

adding pics as requested though i'm not 100% sure that i understood what you were after 🙂

the runner for extending the table top is by rosengaarden and is the same as one i have on my john mortensen table.

i'll add others of the base in a separate post.

cheers !

Interesting. By the way, the base is not teak. It appears to be some other light wood stained teak color.

The metal slides and hardware confirm what I suspected that the table is later. I am not sure when exactly. No earlier than the late 60s, quite possibly the the 70s.

It is interesting that those wood strips under the table that hide the metal slides have slotted screw holes for expansion and contraction, considering that the table is veneer and has to have a dimensionally stable substrate, probably particle board. I see this inexplicable behavior underneath lots of Wegner tables. It could also indicate that there was a solid wood top version of the same design.

And I've looked around and discovered that RY produced at least three distinct table designs. So there was definitely a period where this was a thing.

I wish I knew more about it.

hi leif,

thanks again for the info. yes, i wish you knew more about it too 😉

i've kept digging but it's only internet research here so not much chance of finding anything more than you have.

in any case, your help and knowledge are very much appreciated as always !

cheers,
