Hi, I am looking for better pictures to understand how the feet for these legs are built, including to confirm/not confirm that the little feet were made of brass instead of aluminum (legs are aluminum). I am not sure about the brass, but in this picture they look of a different color that the legs, while in other pictures they did not have this color but quality makes it difficult to say. I do not have the table or the legs, unfortunately.

Many thanks

@andersen

The feet are made of plastic. And the table is designed by Poul Cadovius and not Finn Juhl.

@mvc that's very interesting. so this was copied from the earlier Juhl smaller version after France&Son was acquired by Cado, I presume. This earlier Juhl version looks like had aluminum feet (?).

@andersen

Why do you always mention Finn Juhl?

@mvc the longer table with the aluminum coins on top, seems indeed to be Cavodius. But

the smaller one should be Juhl, at least according to a France&Son catalogue I saw once.

@cdsilva do you have a France&Son catalogue and can you confirm the smaller table is indeed Juhl ? is my theory that it got copied later correct/wrong ?

@mvc  it seems all right, thank you for proving the link. You are right that the little feet are made of plastic, good eye.

It is clear that most of them are wrongly attributed on the web, including on this platform that is selling the one depicted first on this thread...

@andersen

We've had the table several times so it's not my "good eye". (Although I think I have a good eye...)

By the way, it's not this platform's fault, DA cannot check every uploaded item, it has to rely on the retailers to provide correct information.

That design line was apparently called the Revolt series. In a CADO catalog printed in Apr 1970, it notes that series as new and by France and Søn. I believe CADO bought F&S in 1967, and kept the F&S brand name alive for a few more years. I had previously assumed that the brand was kept alive for existing lines, but this catalog indicates that some new designs under CADO after 1967 were still branded F&S.

This listing shows both late F&S medallion and the plastic feet.

@cdsilva many thanks, very interesting. Can it be on the wall there is a "Eclisse" lamp from Artemide ? Never saw it used that way !

Can’t say I’m too familiar with that light, but found an example online of a wall mount.

@mvc @cdsilva

I have made a funny discovery this morning while looking at the Phaidon book dedicated to Finn Juhl. The table is listed as a Juhl design.
