Heavy end tables Danish or ?

I picked up 2 of these tables today and some paintings for $10 at my local thrift store.
Both tables have a clear looking sticker on them but no markings, just clear.
Each one weighs about 35 lbs.
Does anybody know if these have a maker or etc. ?

Thank You

Formica on top, probably US, not Danish I'm thinking.

I have seen this kind of furniture described as "Danish modern style", but maybe more accurate to say "Mid Century Modern" in style.

They have a great profile and almost have that "floating" look. Maybe Lane? Can't help with the tag.

I'm sure someone would like these. They look well made.

 

maybe a little 60's space age goin on.....!

 

Floating style, I never even thought of that, very cool Lucille. Muchas Gracias, ooops, I mean Thanks..

 

I like that word, space age...Kinda cool looking huh.

 

I'd add 10 years.
1970s.

 

Agree on all points. I thought Lane too at first, but I see a lot of Lane stuff in thrifts and used furniture stores around here (being in Virginia) - and just about every piece of mid century Lane I've ever seen has solid wood tops - not formica like this one. Doesn't mean it isn't Lane - just doesn't seem typical to me.

 

1970s absolutely. Very common here in style and with that Formica top, too.

 

Yep, I am goin with Bookahtoo on this one, looks like a match to me.

 

Very cool Bookahtoo, now I can put a name on them. Thanks man..

 

ahemmm.....dad had a desk made like this.... 1960's...

I'm going with Komokwa on this !!!

 

The listing only says could be, though...?

 

The listing ... & I ....both say could be.....I wasn't there when it was made...& I'm only working from fond memory on Dad's desk......But I remember when he replaced his roll top with the new one....& it was such an open flowing design with thin legs.....& I hated it....cuz I didn't understand it !

So...for now...I'm still with Komo on this one !!

 

I have a very similar side table made by Mersman, but i think its a little more plain in design. Ill put up pics tomorrow.

 

It says "Style"

I find similar but not an exact match and I don't see Formica.

I think this table is identical to the Mersman I have at the shop. Yours has a little more styling to it so defiantly not it.

Yes, I think you could get away with saying "Jens Risom style". I too looked around at Jens Risom pieces. Also did not see any with Formica. Another small detail missing, did not see any Jens Risom with metal feet covers.

So maybe an off shoot, etc. Do look sturdy and well made, though.

As the set of 3 sits unsold on Etsy for $299 at the moment, you have a price point of sorts, depending on where you live and the condition. People who want this kind of thing and are willing to spend money usually want "close to perfect".

Although Formica is poo-pooed in some circles, it is actually not a bad surface for drinks, etc. I noticed the Etsy auction referred to the Formica as:

"....heavy laminate faux wood style."

If you don't have a store and are trying to sell this set on Craigslist or similar, you might carefully borrow some of the phrasing from that seller.

 

They are being truthful, that's all. Unless they KNOW it is Formica (a copyrighted name), it is laminate.................ask Velcro, they'll explain it - or rather their lawyers will!!!!
