I scored a pair of rosewood stools today at a garage sale. They are attributed to Erik Buck for OD Mobler also known as Oddense Maskinsnedkeri. They are seen in teak and rosewood, these are richly grained rosewood. A little wear along the legs and footrest, but nothing a little linseed oil can’t make look good as new. The leather is in perfect condition.
The photo is from a Rago Arts auction from 2006 where these 4 sold for $2040. There was a recent Euro eBay auction that brought a similar price for a teak pair.
They also had a Lovig desk in rosewood for less than 10% of what it normally sells for. The desk is often attributed to Quistgaard because the label says “Lovig – Dansk Designs” and people don’t understand Dansk Designs also means “Danish Designs” as well as the name of the company JHQ is so famous for. I almost got it, but it was so big and heavy I didn’t know where to put it. This wasn’t in as good shape, but could have been easily restored. I’ll probably kick myself for not getting it, but you can’t get greedy with furniture living in a flat. That’s why I collect pepper mills.
