Unknown Coffee Table.......J Andersen, Arne Hovmand Olsen, Ole Wanscher????????  

Interesting. I

This is a real beauty! Wish I could be of more help than that, but I really can't. The construction looks superb.

Thank you for your responses.

the danish control branding is on the underside of the table. There is also what i believe is inked producer markings but it has been stamped several times over in the same area so I cant decipher anything. Will post a picture of that later. But here's the thing, the underside which as got the markings on has got superb grain patterning. The top is also veneered but with very quiet grain.

I had considered flipping the table so that the impressed mark was ontop. Really in a bit of a quandary both as to who designed and made it and how best to go about restoration. Again any further thoughts/contibutions most welcome

Focus on identifying the maker first. Post some more photos any time. Details of wood joinery might be helpful. I still feel like I am guessing at a lot of things in the photos.

It looks like a rare piece that needs no restoration.

Have uploaded 2 additional photos that I take to be several attempts to attached inked manufacturer details to the table which has ended up just looking like a jumble. If anyone can make anything from this or indeed from the other photos that helps identify designer and produced I would be much obliged.

Have attached some more photos. If there is specific further shots you would like to see please let me know Leif.....thanks again

one other photo

And the ink stamp?

Leif.....thats the 2 photos depicting what looks like hieroglyphics

Where is the mark on the table then? I thought that was damage on the top....

Leif,

the top is undamaged.....but not very exciting grain wise. The danish control impressed mark and the hieroglyphics or various squiggles that I thought might be makers marks being randomly and repeatdely made are on the underside.....of course they could just be marks with no significance

photo? I am curious of the positional relationship between the random marks and the DFC stamp.

When you run a finger over the random marks are they indented? That is what it appears to me... And based on that it looks like something scraped the table there, perhaps when it was upside down during a moved. Later someone oiled it, and the oil darkened the wood beyond the original lacquer finish.

Leif,

the marks we have been discussing cover an area 10cm x 15 cm and are some 50 cm from the DFC indented stamp. The marks are not indented and on closer examination do look like ink.

Any further questions or insights welcome
