did you ever found information on Andersen?

Hi did you ever found information on Hans C Andersen? 

What kind of information are you looking for?

Hi, 

I would like to know his history where he worked and perhaps a picture. I collect MCM furniture and I’m doing an album with all my favorite pieces. 

That won't be easy. Hans C. Andersen was a lesser known architect (if he was an architect at all). As far as I know, he only worked for Artex, maybe he was the owner of Artex, but I've never even seen any information about this company either. If you can figure out where they had their workshop (you'll need danish sources), you have a clue where Hans C. Andersen was from. Then you can dive into archives and look for people named Hans C. Andersen who used to live in this region. You might be able to contact families. Would be a nice and rewarding task, but it's a long way which probably no one has walked yet.   

@alex2018 Hey Alex, I just stumbled about some information. It‘s not much, but H.C. Andersen was indeed the owner of Artex, and he was not an architect but a cabinetmaker. One of many with a small company, he probably started his business in the 60s and was still active in the early 70s.

I just came across two Side tables in pretty much perfect condition designed by Hans for Artex. I have some one interested in purchasing. Everything I see is that they are rare and pretty valuable. Any advice on a fair price???

@pageelizabeth Sorry, we don't discuss prices here.
