Howdy y'all-
Just finished cleaning up this credenza but did not find a single mark on it anywhere. Naturally, I'm back to DA to ask for some help identifying it.
It came from a house full of predominantly Norwegian pieces with a few Danish items interspersed throughout, so I'm leaning toward thinking this is Norwegian, and while I doubt it is the case, some of its details and layout do remind me of Bernhard Pedersen and G-Plan.
It is teak with what appear to be walnut door pulls and legs, birch interior, and pine carcass. The top and sides are veneer over particle board, which dates it to post ~1960 (aligns with the original owner's story that he purchased it around 1964).
Any thoughts?

Not
G Plan. Which (whilst not particularly helpful) at least eliminates that maker

Those darker pulls might...
Those dark wood parts might also be afrormosia, which I've seen on a norwegian (Gustav Bahus) credenza and G-Plan pieces.
What do the shelf supports look like?

And the back? And...
And the back? And underside?
I bet with a round of photos of various odd details the forum can suggest which country it is from at least. (Oh, and Gustav Bahus exported some sideboards to Britain that look very British).
