I REALLY must admit this is the WORST faking I have EVER seen of a Wegner signature
Not only is is blatantly clear to see that the "mark" has been made with an amateurs burner but for the seller to believe it by showing a start price of over £300 is just taking the P***
take a look and dont wet your seat with laughter
I dont get
I dont get what the big deal is. It's CLEARLY a piece by graffiti artist Harold Wegner. Harold is kind of the anti-Banksy. Where Banksy is witty and subversive Harold is driven by a much rougher, gut instinct. I'm surprised this is the first time we've seen his work here...
Hey that's the same desk/table I've been trying to ID for awhile now
Seriously, I bought one that does not have the drawers, and looked at another that did have the drawers. I've since seen another variation of it too, with drawers on both sides.
I posted a thread with a partial label on one, was trying to ID it. Never thought it was a Wegner though! LOL
But seriously, from those 2 labels, any possible ID?

Wee google
OK, love that term "wee google" and am now adopting it as my own new and hilarious phrase, but I will cite you, MarkTulip, as the author, when pressed.
Secondly, has anyone noticed that the poster of the chair on UK ebay never really refers to Hans Wegner, just H. Wegner? What a subtle way to infer authenticity, yet stay just careful enough that no one can really call him on it. That careful way of phrasing the description just compounds the duplicity, in my opinion.

My sister is fond of telling me that I "dont always know what I'm talking about, but I usually say it with authority"
What I'm afraid of is that someone is going to stumble onto this forum, do some quick value searches, and start attributing things to de Frutta on eBay.
