The one and only reference is the Danish Design Museum, but only for Scandinavian design. http://designmuseum.dk/furnitureindex
The control mechanism on Lauritz or Decopedia is not as good as it should be, so very often there are wrong attributed items to find.
Use the google
With site:lauritz.com in the query. So for example with that rosewood chair of yours I googled "site:lauritz.com stole palisander" without the quotes and then selected the images tab. The other chairs like yours were a dozen or so rows of images down.
The other thing of note about lauritz is that the large majority of its lots are in danish. So query in danish.
And, as above, lauritz is no solid reference. Furniture is often misattributed by accident or to fluff up its desirability. But it sometimes can offer good clues to follow up on that lead to a solid attribution.
apropos of danish queries
does anywhere know a source for danish translations of cabinet maker's terms? I am thinking of words like dovetail, veneer, staved, etc that are part of a lexicon that doesn't commingle with "normal" language. (I am not asking about the translations for words like table, chair, or even sideboard, which are easy to translate)
Dovetail
Marie: The translation that dictionary gives for "dovetail" does not appear to be the danish translation of dovetail as a cabinet maker's term. I was asking about a source for a highly specialized lexical domain, cabinet making, as it is my experience that translation dictionaries, even the best of them, rarely offer adequate translations foe these sorts of lexical domains.
My question is more asking for something like the below link that illustrates various types of joints, but in danish. And it is not just "dovetail" whose translation I am interested in.

You can try the EU inter-institutional terminology database (IATE) http://iate.europa.eu
It covers many different fields including many technical ones.
A joint is in Danish called...
A joint is in Danish called a "samling".
These are all I know:
Bridle joint (3) = slids-samling
Dovetail joint (5) = svanehale-samling (or a "sinkning").
Finger joint (6) = finger-samling.
Lap joint (7) = blad-samling
Mortise and Tenon (8) = tap-samling
