Hi all, I saw this sofa group on sale today. I think it could be a Stouby or a Borge Mgensen for Fredericia. There is a 3 seater and a 2 seater plus an armchair. The seller just said 'leather sofa set'.
What do you think? Priced around 400usd for the set.

Certainly
not by mogensen as his have more distinctive lines.
Stouby would say so on the back of the cushions.
My guess is any number of makers like
Thams
Skippers

Thanks!
Thanks for your input guys.
I think it looks nice too Robert, surely nicer than my Ikea anyhow:-)
Simon, given that it could be a number of designers and that the seller says it's well preserved ( I haven't seen it yet) do you think 4000 norwegian kroner (about 450 gbp 700usd) is a fair price as this the highest I'm willing to go?
Thanks in advance for your advice. I love your site by the way, it's a great source of reference!

4000nkr
well i think if you get it at that then it's worth every penny.
a closer inspection of the leather would be recommended so distinquish if it is pattern rolled or buffalo.
if the latter then 4000 seems to be skimping on a good set. for the first then 4000 is norm.

how to tell?
Thanks again Simon! Er... how do you tell? I once sat in a genuine Borge Mogensen and it was as soft as butter...maybe from use? I will go see the set tomorrow.
Again thanks for the free education:-)
P.s. I've added a frontal pic of the three seater.
