## About Borge Mogensen

Borge Mogensen, whose authorized name is commonly written Børge Mogensen, was a Danish furniture designer who lived from 1914 to 1972. International authority records maintained by Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, and European library systems identify him consistently as a designer associated with furniture. That stable identity record is important because auction listings may omit the Danish letter ø, invert his name, or use simplified spellings. Collectors encounter Mogensen through furniture and design objects offered in the secondary market, where accurate name matching helps connect an object with relevant public records. The collected sources firmly establish his identity, nationality, occupation, and lifespan, but they do not provide enough detail to assign particular movements, models, manufacturers, materials, or design series. Those object-specific questions should therefore be resolved through marks, documentation, construction details, and comparable catalogued examples.

## Common works and media

Auction and appraisal searches for Borge Mogensen principally concern furniture and related design objects. Because the collected sources identify his professional field but do not document specific models, materials, manufacturers, or series, individual objects should be described from their own physical evidence and documentation rather than assigned to an unsupported design category.

## Market and appraisal context

Furniture attributed to Borge Mogensen should be assessed at the object level. A useful appraisal begins by confirming that the attribution refers to the Danish furniture designer recorded by major authority files, then examines the object's type and any available documentation. Relevant public auction records can provide comparable lots, sale dates, and realized prices, but the collected source pack does not identify particular models, manufacturers, materials, dimensions, condition issues, or provenance. Those details can materially distinguish one object from another and should be established from photographs, labels, marks, invoices, catalogues, and physical inspection where available. Auction results should be compared using genuinely similar objects and should not be treated as a prediction of future value.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Identity claims here are grounded in public authority sources; object-level attribution and valuation require evidence specific to the item.
