Hi. I am a new DA member and this is my first time posting .... My husband and I bought these rosewood nesting tables in the early 70s (73 or 74 I think) at an auction for a furniture store closing. We didn't think to ask about the designer or manufacturer at the time.

Now, I'm wondering if they might have been designed by Kai Kristiansen as the measurements and design of the 3 tables seem to match those for a listing I recently saw for a very similar set on an auction website that attributes the set to that designer.

Unfortunately, there is no manufacturer brand markings on the tables ... just the "Made in Denmark" stamp.

I'm hoping other members of this site can help identify whether or not these could be Kai Kristiansen tables, even without a manufacturer brand marking. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If it helps, the measurements for the tables are: (i) 13-3/4" D X 24-3/4" W X 16-1/2" H (35 cm D X 62 cm W X 42 cm H); (ii) 13-3/4" D X 22-11/16" W X 15-7/8" H (35 cm D X 57.7 cm W X 40 cm H); and (iii) 13-11/16" D X 20-7/8" W X 15-1/16" H (35 cm D X 53 cm W X 38 cm H)

They are listed pretty much everywhere as model VM253 by Kai Kristiansen for Vildbjerg M

Hi. I appreciate your taking the time to respond. Good to know that we can claim the Kristiansen design even without a specific manufacturer branding on the tables themselves. We love the tables and their iconic origin makes them even more special.

Hi. I finally found a marked set: http://www.lauritz.com/da/auktion/vildbjerg-moebelfabrik-indskudsborde-a...

So, the manufacturer is confirmed and we know that Kai Kristiansen did work for Vildbjerg M
