Dark water rings and stains l...
Dark water rings and stains like the ones on your tables are caused by the iron that is naturally present in water, and how it reacts with the tannins in the wood. It is a kind of rust stain, basically, and there are very effective means of removing these kinds of stains using chemicals, rather than sanding. Sanding can work, but sometimes these stains go down quite deep into the wood, and as you can see the tops of these tables are pretty thin.
If you Google this issue, you will find that oxalic acid is the most common thing used to remove dark ring stains on wood furniture. I know that nicer woodworking and hardware stores here in the USA carry it.
There is a kitchen cleanser here in the USA called "Barkeeper's Friend", which contains some oxalic acid. When I have got a dark ring stain on my teak dining table or my walnut cutting board, I make a paste from the cleanser, and put it on the stain, and so far I have not encountered one that did not disappear completely, and some have been pretty dark. So far I have not seen it negatively effect the natural color of the wood itself.

I like boomerangs
Does anyone have designer or maker info for the rocking chair (the Erik Christensen dining chair is fairly well documented)?
I had seen the rocking chair a few times previously and finally decided to go after this one. I have seen Pearsall references, but do not believe that is correct; considering a dealer in Chicago recently shipped one over from Denmark. The curves don't seem in the Pearsall style either.
The cyan upholstery on both pieces is coincidental as they came from different places. My reupholstering selection for them will be a little more subtle.

Georg Jensen?
Something about those legs says Georg Jensen to me.
But I could be totally off base.

Here is a similar boomerang design rocking chair by Jensen, but I have never seen mine attributed to him.

pics of table
just a really nice Danish teak extension table. Only issue is a few white ring spots. Love the contrasting trim all around. Legs are odd, big and angle towards the center. Has an INK mark which is impossible to make out.

I know there are a variety of remedies cited for removing white rings (rubbing with mayonaisse, etc.), but what has worked best for me is a clothes iron, with no steam (and preferably no water in the iron), on a relatively high heat setting, with a folded cloth between the iron and table top. The last teak dining table I got had very prominent white rings, and I was lucky enough to have them all disappear completely after using the iron.

I vouch for the iron method. Worked for me the 2 times I used it on white rings.

cdsilver, your rocker has been the subject of an ID thread on here before. To the best of my knowledge no designers name has been reliably linked to the design.
I have also seen it offered in Denmark on a few occasions where it is given a generic description.

Thanks ! I will try this. Appreciate the feedback.

I THINK
the table is Funder-Schmidt & Madsen. Have seen similar. Ink mark is still impossible to read but it sure could be FS & M.

I lightly steel wooled and oiled the Tove & Edvard Kindt-Larsen
I think it turned out nicely.
