to reply to myself
nope, no other stamps, etc. I don't even see a spot where a label might have fall off from. HUM!

Sweet
Can't wait to see the results.

Make sure you slap an HM medallion on it too.

thanks!
I get AT LEAST one offer a month to buy that rug (I use it as a backdrop for photos of stuff I am peddling). To quote the Dude, it really pulls the room together.

I think I did well.
I was on craigslist and picked up one item, and then when I got to the house the couple said they had more...The husband had been stationed in Germany and then they went to Denmark 48 years ago and bought all their furniture. Everything was very nice.

They said they had some tables in a pile in the celler and were selling them in addition to the original item I went to pick up.

100 bucks for all three. I grabbed them. They need some love in terms of the top finish, but structurally are nick and dent free.


I was thinking they are actually
Kindt-Larssen?


Sorry for the poor phone pics. Better off doing daytime shots.

Waffle
Did not see your question earlier. It might be some time before my house sells, so it could take a while before there is a new locale, so to speak.

Nice Kindt-Larsen set. I have the same three pieces. Not acquired for $100 though.

makes sense
good luck w/ that TCHP. Tough housing market everywhere.

Bought a dining table today. Will post pics tomorrow. REALLY nice but completely unmarked so I will be looking for opinions.

BTW, had the Grete jalk table refinished and not thrilled. Did a decent job on the stain but botched the finish. Looks like I will finish the job meself.

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.

Georg Jensen?
Something about those legs says Georg Jensen to me.

But I could be totally off base.

I know there are a variety...
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.

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.

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.

Niels Moller and random table
Picked up this Niels Moller Model '77'? Dining Chair and bent plywood table. There are no markings on the table, anyone have any ideas?

Why waffle,


I have a set of the same Dansk Fjord?..enough for twelve hungry dinner companions...and find it simply divine.


Very nice.

They really are lovely.

I am currently on the hunt for some flatware and this style is precisely what I had in mind.

I believe the 4 ducks logo...
I believe the 4 ducks logo is the older / oldest marking for the flatware. I was lucky enough to find a 35+ piece set of the Fjord at a garage sale last year for $8. They didn't have the ducks logo but said instead Dansk designs Germany JHQ . I assume they must be newer than yours.

The lovely older couple having the garage sale would have none of me shoving another $25 at them. I think my enthusiasm amused them...I then proceeded to weep openly, throw my arms around them both, and then on the way home I forgot who I was for 30 minutes.

I did go back however the next day and dropped a card with a long, ramble-y thank you and $25 in their mailbox :-)

I use mine often and enjoy the memory of how I got them, and meeting that lovely older couple, just as much as I enjoy using them...

How lovely, Solange!
You are a rare (and thoughtful) collector..indeed! Now waffle, I have more than one kitchen...so in the Florida kitchen, I use Swid Powell flatware (by Richard Meier). Neither set is dishwasher safe..but what the hell..I occasionally get lazy and break the rules. And if Arlene Francis promotes Dansk (or Kraft?)...so should you!


ps. I wanted to be Arlene Francis when I was a young child.

Well then, Royal Poodles...

drinks and vacuum packed meats are on me! Order up!!

make that 3 craigslist buys
Erik Hoglund Candelabra.

I did a bit of quick research on repro's before I bought this. Don't seem to be any. Seems to be in perfect condition.

Question: should I oil the wrought iron? Darken it? I remember that trick for plants stands, etc. PROBABLY NOT I SUSPECT.

Had to drive a bit to get this. Believe it is worth it.

change the title of this thread
to "The last thing that Waffle aquired"

Congrats, Waffle!
Congrats... that is beautiful. Did he mark his work? I recently picked up a similar candelabra that I thought was Hoglund, but wasn't sure. It was in the trash, believe it or not.

my repro
i think mine might be a repro, as there appear to be some differences between mine and yours.

1. the ring at the top and bottom, to which you can attach extenders, is narrower in width than the rings for the glass holders. in my case, they are also more rounded, whereas the holder rings are flattened. from what i can see in your pictures, the widths appear to be the same.

2. the glass holders are also quite different. rather than the bubbles/ pebbled-like surface in ones i've seen online, my holder are clear glass above, with parallel etched lines below.

that said, the age is appropriate. i found them in the trash at a home at which i purchased a sven ellekaer coffee table. the woman said that her mom had brought both over when she emigrated to the u.s., and that she had grown up with both pieces. the coffee table had had its glass surface replaced, due to damage in an earthquake (in san fran), so maybe the holders were damaged and replaced too?

I have the same chandelier,...
I have the same chandelier, and the matching candelabra. I don't believe it is Hoglund, though.

gene
does your have glass inserts like jgbl's? I'll do some more research and see what I can find.

what makes
you think they are not legit Hoglund? How do they differ? I am 99% sure mine is legit based on comparison to the real deal and that they belonged to the parents of the couple I bought it from who apparently had quite a collection of nice MCM stuff...

but a label would have been sweet

Waffle-I didn't mean to...
Waffle-I didn't mean to suggest that yours or anybody else's were repros or fakes. I just suspect that the Hoglund attribution is incorrect.

A while back I asked on here something about a different candelabra that I own, also iron and glass, which is marked Ystad Metall. That piece is commonly attributed to Hoglund, and I just assumed it was Hoglund, but someone on here from Sweden told me that it was an incorrect attribution and that the piece was by Gunnar Ander. And stylistically, it made perfect sense (just doesn't look like Hoglund's work), on top of the fact that Hoglund is associated with Boda/Axel Stromberg, and this piece was from Ystad.

That got me thinking about the chandelier, which is always attributed to Hoglund. But it doesn't look mucj like his other chandeliers, and also if it were Hoglund you'd think it would be made by Boda/Axel Stromberg, but it wasn't (mine was still labeled when I got it), so I just suspect it's a misattribution. But I don't know for sure about any of this..I'm .just guessing!

Mine also had a Bostrom label...
Mine also had a Bostrom label, but a blue and yellow one.

Thank you so muh, Alexander,...
Thank you so muh, Alexander, for that information, and the translation! Luckily I have never polished it. I was curious how you guessed at the date of late 70s-mid 80s? I figured it was from the early 70s.

Finn Juhl chair 136
I picked this up recently. It was in need of repair. Here it is finished in nice soft leather. Might be the most comfortable chair I own now.

Lovely chair robbk.

A Quistgaard wine bottle...
A Quistgaard wine bottle holder I had not seen before, and one of his large staved bowls.

jesgord
It has the typical "Dansk Designs Denmark IHQ" heat branded mark, with no ducks.

Edit: Today I got a nearly perfect Bostlund lamp with a 1963 date stamp and the original fiberglass shade for $20. I had not been familiar with this Canadian company before today.

tchp...
I have 5 Lotte lamps in various styles I've collected over the years.
Being from Canada they are somewhat easy to find in thrifts stores, although the higher end stores here sell them for a very high price.

The shades that are wrapped with natural jute emit the most impossibly beautiful glow...I have not grown tired of their beauty despite having them for many years now.

added: the lamp looks quite lovely and right at home in your home....

those are
really stunning lamps. So sophisticated

Now on to the just odd. The chair below has great lines. I was confused by the back piece for a moment until I realized the WHOLE THING is one piece of molded fiberglass. The rattan-ish part and the round frame. The rest is nice heavy gauge metal. check out those tapering legs!

Also picked up 5 orphan JHQ Dansk 4 duck flatware stirring spoons w/ a strange, ribbed handle. Not like any I've seen....

bing
we have a winner. I had looked at that but did not see this variant. The stripes are fine and horizontal on the handle. Thanks tons!

And...
By bar I mean the blank piece at the bottom of the label. Does it specify any more specifics, other than that it was produced in the first production run? Which I think was between 1950-52.....

Picked this up yesterday
FRANK REENSKAUG - Rocking Chair No. 182 - BRAMIN MØBLER - Denmark, Walnut. I have 3 of the 5 straps and some poor home made cushions. I grabbed this for $50 from CL.

This chair varies a little from the ones I see commonly for sale.

- It has 6, rather than 7, spindles
- Different webbing
- No exposed screws, etc.
- The top rail is narrower as it joins the back.

I got some of the info from this eBay listing

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Danish-Mid-Century-Modern-Frank-Reenskaug-No-182-Rocking-Chair-VERY-EARLY?item=110875711319&cmd=ViewItem&_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D1%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D472635443239438508

Does anyone have any further info about earlier versions?

CUTE!
small, elegant salt and pepper. Wooden plugs which say "Made in Denmark" on the INSIDE. So simple

Couldn't find another set like it. Kind of curious

These are very cool!
These are very cool!

Thanks!
I've been having fun just going through them all.
