A 1952 AT catalogue with price list and 8 images ( out of a total of 38) Designs by Wegner and Frits Henningsen .
The Wegner models are well known but the Frits Henningsen not so much, well to me anyway.
I will start with the Price List.

@leif-ericson. What is frustrating is that there are 17 images in total, of Fritz Henningsen pieces, but only 3 posted. If you want to see the rest you will have to fork out £395 + postage for the pleasure...😆

@andersen. I will post the other images I saved . For some reason I did not save all that were posted by the seller of this catalogue but I can only presume I did this because they were in Mats Linder's post of an Andreas Tuck catalogue from 1959 🤔 ...it was after all January last year!

Here are the images I did save; All were Hans Wegner models ( as well as the Fritz Henningsen designs in my original post) The last image has no designer attribution, but it does not look like a Wegner design: possibly one of their "in-house designs?
Posting the seller info that came with the listing. Unfortunately this catalogue is no longer on the sellers listings.

@andersen. Mats Linder's one is from 1959 but he did post the 1961 price list ( see post from last year )
He didn't post a catalogue that the '61 price list came from.

@lexi thanks for the info, I was more interested in the products than their original price... in the 60es the offer of Andreas Tuck grew substantially, probably driven by the need to satisfy a market that asked for different looking and maybe sometimes cheaper products. I would love to see such catalogue.
@Andersen You probably mean the Tuck range from the late 60s/early 70s? Yeah, that's interesting. The tables from this period totally lack the elegance of early Wegner designs. The shift was probably due to public demand for a new look but also possibly due to the fact that Wegner had a fall out with the Salesco companies and Andreas Tuck - who also after Mogens Tuck's premature death was under a new management - was forced to work with new designers. Probably Nissen and Gehl but I'm not sure about that. But I don't know if there's a catalog available, I've certainly never seen one.

@andersen; @herringbone. On a side note; Apologise for the diversion but thought you might be interested
Nothing to do with Andreas Tuck or his later production but found this coffee table on Asko's (FINNA) archive. 1954. Produced on licence and with a new name and model number.
However I do feel they have the Wegner model numbers mixed up as the AT catalogue (1952) has it as AT 308; coffee table.

@herringbone indeed that's what I meant, somehow I had in mind Tuck production started to worsen already in the mid 60es or so. And yes, seeing such catalogue would be really cool. @lexi did not know a Asko was getting the rights to produce that design. When did they do that ? Was that after Tuck closed down ?
@andersen. These images are from 1954. So not after Tuck closed down.
That Asko site also has the AP 20(215) chair images from 1955.
