I'm about to start on a 1970s Norwegian teak coffee table. It is sadly neglected and has some water damage on the legs. Sadly, the top is probably going to need re-finishing, but I'm wanting to do a little as possible to it. However, all that aside, there is only the remnant of the label, I don't suppose anyone recognises it?

Many thanks,

The label is Rasmus Solberg from the '60s.

Fantastic, thank you so much! I knew someone would recognise it :-)

Interesting you say from the 1960s I remember my parents buying it and some other furniture in the early 1970s after they finished renovating the house. A quick Google search has also identified a nest of tables I'm also restoring that they bought at the same time. They are also by Solberg.

Could you please put a photo of the coffee table on here.
We have one which I confess I’ve rather taken for granted for the past decade or so.
Came from my mums as I remember.
Youve got me interested now in where it was made.

This is not my table, it is from the web from a dealer, but it is identical

BTW, this is the same nest of tables, again from another dealer on the web:

Hope this helps and thanks for all the advice from everyone.
