JerryWC: found a marked specimen, so I think the Ekselius/JO Carlsson identification is solid

Leif....thanks! Great info!!!

Ekselius
Yes, that is a Ekselius table.
You see them from time to time here in Sweden.
Never seen one in rosewood though as in the link.

Leif,
Look hard for the stamp. I had the same rosewood table and it took me 3 examinations before I found it. I cant exactly recall the location of the stamp on mine, but I dont think it was on the slides like your shown example. Very faded but (barely) readable. I imagine it is there.

Still can't find a stamp on...
Still can't find a stamp on the Ekselius.
The corner of my living room is getting over full. Just got a couple of tea carts. Folding top tea cart by Grete Jalk for P. Jeppessen. And an unknown design that I've never seen and can't identify, which features pegged through tenon (tusk tenons), so it disassembles to a pile of sticks.

Grantia
Old educational poster, copyrighted in the 1930s, with the invertebrate Grantia on it.
I had hoped it was something more dangerous.
"...environmental conditions including water temperature, tidal stage, and the phase of the moon need to be near perfect or else sexual reproduction by these sponges is postponed."
Fickle little critters.

nice ephemera
Grendel the Cat,
Quality ephemera with an interesting subject matter appeals to me. Congratulations on your find.
Merry Christmas

Fun find of the day.
If only it came with self leveling feet, it would would be just a little nicer.

Hi Leif
I had a very similar cart, but it has fretwork/ pierced sides
I never found out the maker, but likely the same one as yours?

Nice cart! I've really never ...
Nice cart! I've really never seen anything like your tea cart. The side panels make it so much better. I wonder if mine had panels that went missing. Do they fit into a slot?

I seem to remember they did
the top and bottom rails had grooves that the panels slid into
(sold it on several years ago)

On looking at mine, it defini...
On looking at mine, it definitely did not start its life with a fretwork panel. But I do think that it has to be the same maker, because every other detail looks identical.

some pickups
all from the same house. couple questions for you guys - any ideas for the designer of the desk? assuming the aaltos are legit, is there any way to determine age?

Aalto stools
They don't look right from here...
