I recently picked up this Rosewood writing desk and there are no markings on it anywhere. I mentioned Torbjorn Afdal because this same desk is listed on 1stdibs attributed to Torbjorn Afdal. When I searched for his name I couldn't find any information or reference to this desk. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks so much!

What a riot of
veneering. All that obsessive symmetry, and then a single glaring asymmetrical band across the client side of the piece. Hmm. And those arrow-head figures on the drawers . . .
Not for me, thanks. Send it to the circus.

Anyway, you can ask Utopiaretromodern in Oslo. He will help you if he know it.
Look on the links.

Gigi-I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean---but I don't think forum's goal is to "gain positive reputation among fellow dealers" It is a place to discuss design...not help dealers sell their wares. SDR is a longtime valued member of the DA community who offers valuable analysis and input. Who are you, exactly?

GIGI:
The DA standard bearer of restraint.
SDR, It's the drawer fronts that I find most distracting and unfortunate. Not quite Ruhlmann-esque, but almost Deco nonetheless.

Must be campaign season.
Or those annoying austerity measures.
I recommend heavy alcohol consumption.
Somebody please poke me with a swizzle stick at noon.
