Hi there,

I recently aquired a coffee table that reminds me of Florence Knoll and George's Frydman.

150 x 53 cm, height is 52 cm.

Seems to be dated at 15 - 4 - 61, and item number 13005

Dating with day before month seems to exclude a production in an English speaking country.

The table was found in Germany. I am aware that Walter Wirz designed very similar tables but the marking seems to be different than the Wilhelm Renz I've runned into.

Any hint would be much appreciated.

USA? Walnut veneer? Black plastic "feet" inserts? If so, possibly Drexel.

Although later Drexel pieces typically had mfr/date codes stenciled on the bottoms rather than stamped, it looks a lot like the table from a set I had that came out of an office waiting room.

Edit: Oops, should've actually read the post prior to responding. Carry on!

Thank you for your suggestion,

Yes, it has plastic caps, but that's what most tables in this style have. The dating seems very unlikely for a manufacturer from the USA, but I will look into it. Thanks!
