as the title suggests I am looking for help confirming the identity of the desk shown in the first pic. The cabinet moves left to right as desired... I found this sold listing (2nd pic)on that expensive overpriced marketplace site attributing a very similar desk to svend (&?) madsen. I cannot find a version with the side shelf...anyone ever had or spotted one? thanks for your time

The Danish Furniture Index sh...
The Danish Furniture Index shows a desk with the same unusual recessed drawer fronts by Svend Å Madsen for Sigurd Hansen. It also has similar shapes that look like Sv. Å Madsen's work.
I wouldn't say it is proof, but I would feel confident it is correct and that proof can be found if you dig enough.

SH Stamp
If you pull out the drawer, you should be able to see the SH stamp on the back of the drawer.

Look for the stamp on outside bottom of the drawers
Both of my Svend Madsen desks have the stamps/ burned in insignia on the outside bottom of the drawers. Check there.
