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

As the American circus impresario P.T. Barnum said:
"There's a sucker born every minute."
Clearly that is what this seller is banking on, and will more then likely be successful with an uneducated buyer.

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?

It's
an internet expression for hilarity, usually expressed as an acronym:

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.

An authority speaks
Gianni Sacchetto di Frutta, shown here with his signature chair design, has issued the following statement:
"Thissa desk, it is not real. Do not bid on it. Someone-a has-a been busy with-a the woodburning tool-a."
There you have it, folks.

di Frutta is just trying to distract you from the obvious truth:
Harold Wegner is in fact Gianni Sancchetto Grafutta, badass grafitti outlaw. Here did some less sublime works too:

Such a bold statement in that piece... Are you sure it's not Banksy?

lol
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.
