Hi, I think that one of the tables I have had dismantled and stored (with a view to placing in fantasy home with the 7 dining rooms I need) is the same as the one I've taken the deconet image of (it did have some Erik Buck O.D Mobler chairs with it at the time). I've been peering at the printed logo on the underside of said table, and it appears to show M S K. Is this somehow the mark for Skovmand Andersen? Or am I way off? The table I *think* it is, is by Kai Kristiansen.
Is is possible that MSK (or do my tired eyes deceive me?) can translate to Skovamand Andersen?
Thanks so much, Claire. - please find link to deconet cowering underneath my HUGE image of vexing stamp.

Thanks Simon
I wondered if I be lucky, and you'd see this. Any ideas what it could be please? The link to the table on my post is (I think/thought) the same table, but mine has 2 extensions, not 3 with the third leg. Thanks again, Claire

An E?
[rushes off to look at table] - Gah, I think you might be right. It's stamped several times - with the usual varying degrees of clarity. On one though, I think, yes, it is an E. Darn it. I mean to say, thank you. - Rushes back to the drawing board!

Esbjerg Senge Møbelfabrik?
Sounds right, but is a new one on me - will keep looking, but does anyone know anything about them? Thank you for the E, by the way.

here is the mark
the same appears on their furniture with a silver background sticker.
That MSE on yours look a LOT dodgey and a bit home made with a kids stamp set.

Thanks for sharing the image Simon, the round table in the picture is the same design as the one I have. The thing that took me to be looking at S&A was that the chairs that this was bought with (by my in-laws) are Erik Buck Oddense Maskinsnedkeri, with all their original Domus Danica stickers on. I can see that mine obviously isn't S&A, but am I correct in thinking that this same design of table (Kai Kristiansen?) could have been produced by another manufacturer should demand have necessitated it? Could it have been Esbjerg Senge Møbelfabrik?
Maybe the stamp that I photgraphed does lack for clarity, but it's stamped quite a few times (maybe a over zealous child did do it!) underneath, and the faintest images are the clearest, with 'Made in Denmark' beautifully clear underneath the MSE; the S being larger and stylised.
The chairs are in our place in Ibiza, and I'm planning on a reunion with the table, which has enjoyed a meths cleanse this morning. The teak is stunning, and the extension leaves can be used either way up, in that grain on both sides is perfect.
Thanks for your help and time once again Simon, I love to see those original catalogue images.
Claire
