Help with rosewood chrome Danish? tables  

What shape was the sticker?

no distinguishable shape....just a bit of paper/glue residue in the shape of a cloud? sorry

somebody tell me this isn't SCAN again....8^)

Dang...nobody has seen these? 8^(

I think the fine line spider web dark graining of the wood indicates that it is Brazilian Rosewood (dalbergia nigra), versus some other less prestigious rosewood variety. That would at least give you a back end date for production.
Even if I'm right, I don't think it's much help. On the plus side, if I'm wrong, then it doesn't really make a difference anyway.
As to your Scan comment, I don't believe the Scan retail stores had anything to do with the D-Scan manufacturer from Singapore. Having never visited a Scan store, I can't comment on the quality of the pieces they carried.

cdsilva, the regional Scan chain in the DC area may have had only Danish-made furniture to start with but I believe by the end of their run in the early 90s they carried Danish furniture made outside of Denmark. There was one near my old house and I went in there a few times after having visited Denmark. I remember being disappointed that it wasn't an American version of Illums Bolighus.

I have a 1972 Scan catalog. The sold a fairly standard array of danish design for the era. Not a lot of high end stuff, and certainly not cabinet maker, but a bit of Wegner, like the FDB rocking chair. His Flag Halyard chair. Wishbone chair. Verner Panton. Grete Jalk. Hans Olsen. Poul Volther. Hans Brattrud. Torbjørn Afdal. Peter Løvig Nielsen. Arne Vodder. N.O. Møller. Helge Sibast. Eric Buck, etc, etc. And plenty of lesser generic stuff.
But certainly not D-Scan. Scan stuff was all from Scandinavia.

Right, Leif---in 1972. But I remember in 1998 that about the only decent thing they had was the Møller 78 chair. I don't know for sure if they ever carried D-Scan furniture but I wouldn't be surprised. They were selling more contemporary style stuff near the end, too.
There's a Wiki page for them. Such humble beginnings. My dear aunt and cousin lived in a Greenbelt rowhome back in the 60s and I visited them as a kid from Illinois. We didn't go to a Scan store, though--it was all DC monuments and museums in 100+ heat. Good times!

Yeah, I can easily imagine that Scan did not have much of a catalog in 1998. I mean I don't even know what they would have put in it. Some Møller as you said (and after even the early 70s Møller wasn't producing to the same standard as before), and beyond that, nothing...
I was responding to the idea that something purchased at Scan is therefore not worthy, which is really not true.

Sorry to imply that SCAN was generic cheap stuff...I guess I am use to people around here selling Scandinavian unmarked more generic stuff and referring to it has from SCAN...Most of the time it usually is generic dining tables and chairs and ugly boxy credenzas and dressers...I never got the chance to go to a SCAN store...would have liked to. But I guess I should learn from my mistakes...one time at a local auction around here theres was a credenza up. They had it listed as SCAN and even had a picture of the SCAN furniture care instuructions that were still in the drawer...so I blew it off and didn't even go to the auction. A few weeks later I saw the same credenza for sale on the internet and it was in my area. It was a IB Kofod Larsen for Clausen. 8^( So yeah...I guess I need to stop referring to SCAN has not good stuff...you just seem to see a lot of people around here selling more generic 80's 90's stuff as SCAN...
