Nanna Ditzel

Soren Georg Jensen

Sigvard Bernadotte

Gundorph Albertus

Arno Malinowski

Jorgen Jensen

Johan Rohde 

and Harald Nielsen 

among others. The issue also contains some fabulous vintage ads displaying items by Louis Poulsen, PH 4/3 lights by Poul Henningsen, Moller furniture, Nanna Ditzel, Domus Danica, Dansk Designs, Finn Juhl furniture for France and Son, Royal Copenhagen, Brande Mobelfabrik featuring iconic lighting and furniture designs of Arne Jacobsen, Kastrup Holmegaard with designs by Per Lutken, Fritz Hansen and Hans J. Wegner.

 

The magazine is in very good used condition with some wear to the silver card covers and spine commensurate with age and use. Internally the magazine is very clean and bright with no inscriptions. Given its age, rarity and fragility, I'd rate this as an excellent survivor.

Payment and Postage

Paypal is accepted. UK buyers only may also pay by cheque or postal order. If it's a cheque, please allow 7 to 10 days for it to clear. In exceptional circumstances it may be possible for overseas customers to pay by other means such as bank transfer, but this is by prior arrangement only.


 

Non-payment

All non-paying bidders are, without exception, reported to eBay. This is not for the sake of being vindictive, but because eBay charges retrospective fees calculated on the actual sale price of items and this money needs to be retrieved. Believe me it is becoming increasingly difficult to make ends meet on here as it is! Thank you for your understanding. Please refer to eBay's policy on non-payment for more information, including its ramifications for the bidder. If you have any doubts, please do ask before bidding.



Condition of items

Please note that, unless clearly stated otherwise, my listings are for vintage/antique objects and therefore, by definition, are not going to be in the same condition you would expect from a brand new item. Please be assured that I always endeavour to offer the most accurate description possible of the item's condition and take multiple illustrative photographs.

 

Vintage electrical items

Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the description, vintage electrical items are always sold in their original condition so should always be safety checked by a qualified electrician (in the country of intended use) before use.
