I recently acquired a set of moller 71 chairs and got a nice teak dining table as part of the deal. It is stamped as "made in denmark" with a stamp that looks quite similar to the one on the chairs. After a bit of research I found a Moller table that looks very similar.

The table I got has the same design, the two leaves, but is different in one way; my table has edges that have a much rounder profile and the wood working is different than the one pictured at Decopedia. See the images below. So is my table a real Moller or a knock off? There just isn't much info on the 136 out there.

Sorry, I was unfamiliar with this forum's picture linking and had one other shot of my table. Sorry and thanks.

There appears to be a table with the same edge treatment at this retailer, but it too is only marked as Made in Denmark. I believe the manufacturer most associated with tables with this leg style is Gudme. They made them with a variety of different shaped tops.

These chairs were often paired with the Gudme table. I believe this model wasn't produced by Moller.

Gudme catalogue
The table does not feature in the GUDME catalogue i have.
It may not be theres as all Gudme table have laminated edges and not octagonal block edge like yours.
There are any number of danish makers from
Skovmand & Andersen
to Randers and many more that produced "generic" in-house furniture of good quality for export sales.
Have had several from
39½ inch / 43 inch / 47 inch diameter all with the block edge.

Thanks for the replies
My table is 43" so it's looking more and more like one of the "house brands", and considering that it was basically thrown in with the chairs I am certainly not complaining. It fits my space perfectly and complements the 71s very well.
Thanks again!
