I found this coffee table in a barn full of second hand furniture. Someone has told me it might be by George Nelson. I have searched online and here on the design addict forums, I am still non the wiser. If anyone can give me any advice that would be great. I have uploaded some photos here http://andrewcarver.imgur.com/all/ Thanks, Andrew

It sure looks like an authentic Nelson bench to me.
Best,
Mark

looks good to me. Exactly the same as mine, apart from it appears that the screws have been changed on yours to cross-heads.

The screws on my 10 year old Nelson bench are also crossheads (phillips).

Yes, Mark.
I don't know what the other kind of screw is---slot head? That's what I call them, anyway.

Flat headed or slotted was what I was always taught by my dad who's a joiner.
Maybe the more recent nelson benches have cross-head screws. Either that or im the odd one out and the screws were switched on mine at somepoint in its life.

Thanks
Hi There, Thanks for taking a look for me. As you can see from the images some of the lacquer is peeling but I quite like that. Is there any way in which I can date it? Cheers, Andrew
