Picked this recently, teak credenza that had some funky twisted metal pulls which are definitely not original (not shown). No marks on this one but defiantly older, 1950's with old school plywood substrate. It has an oak base put together interestingly which may be the easiest way to ID it. Any thoughts appreciated.
@raijin I'm feeling Soborg vibes, but I haven't found the exact piece yet. The veneer reminds me of Mogensen case-pieces from the mid-fifties, the base construction is actually also Mogensen, although the legs are flattened, unlike the earlier Soborg pieces. If it really is Soborg, then it is more likely to be from the late 50s or early 60s. I have found bedside cabinets from this period with a very similar base construction. However, Soborg also reliably marked its furniture. I assume you don't have a makers mark on the back, do you?

No marks anywhere that I can find, not even the after of having had a sticker either. I too had thoughts of both Mogensen and Ostervig as both did a lot of oak bases. It has piano hinges on the doors which is not too common and the inner shelves are odd in being thin on top but having visible supports under, which I don't think I have seen before in credenza shelving.
