Happy to find this on eBay last week.

Nice Pegboard!

Nice Pegboard!
Do you think the white formica is original? I have only seen these with either black formica and walnut or all walnut. I have some other Grossman tables with white formica and I've seen the desk with white formica and white iron legs as well, so I guess it could be original. Still, I would at least expect the feet to be walnut. -What do you think?

I soo like white formica, pegboard.
and so I acquired a creepy oil painting (on board attached to board)...and hung (hanged) it out on the terrace. I shall see how it illuminates tonight. It was $5.00
why not?

I had a Larsen seal chair. The seat was attached with a brass screws. Between the seat and the inside of the frame was a brass sleeve 3/4 of an inch long to hide the threads of the screw and keep things tidy looking.

The table is entirely original and unaltered. I got it from the original owner. She grew up with it in her bedroom. I also got the matching Grossman desk. It has the same white laminate with white legs and a white door front.
Interestingly, they both have white feet rather than the natural wood balls. I questioned that, but was told that was how they came and looking at the paint it is clearly very old and appears to be original.

One of my similar tables, has a top in black formica, lower shelf in walnut and legs black with black painted ball feet. I've always taken for granted the feet had been repainted at some point, but maybe not...

cdsilva,

cdsilva,
These are as close-up as I have. I do not know if the screws seen here are original or not.

I got an "L" style teak coffee table with oak legs. The top is solid teak, albeit not of especially wide laminated boards. I like the contrast between oak and teak, although it does not show up well in this image. I've no idea who made this unmarked piece, and have not seen another.

I luv da bench.

kcbrains and tchp
thanks for the responses. It sounds/looks like the connection detail is very similar to another Kofod-Larsen Selig lounge chair design I previously had (#540-15 coil spring back chair), except the brass bolt head is exposed on the outside of the frame.
tchp, could you also confirm that your cushion thicknesses are 2" for the back and 3" for the seat? thanks.

Security screws
I have a Kofod Larsen waiting to get the caned back redone and have the screws. I finally found someone to help me remove them so as to send the back off to be re-caned. I actually ended up having a machinist make me a tool so as to remove. The term for this type of screw is evading me at the moment . When I figure out how to post a pic for you I'll do so..

Cdsilva, sorry but I do not...
Cdsilva, sorry but I do not actually own that chair, and only had the photos. So, can't measure the cushions.

I did some second-hand shopping over the weekend and got a pair of Borge Mogensen side chairs, a watercolor painting by Roger Derieux, and a pair of Nessen floor lamps that even had shades in excellent condition. The lamp pair was only $30.
