- Look for a label or stamp. Listings describe pieces "labelled R.S. Associates", and the name also appears as "RS & Associates" and "R.S. Furniture Inc."
- Check inside drawers, on the back panel and underneath, and photograph whatever you find.
- Expect teak and a clean Scandinavian look: tapered legs, simple pulls, low profiles.
About RS Associates
RS Associates was a Montreal furniture maker that brought the Scandinavian teak look to Canadian homes at a lower price. Even design dealers note how little is recorded about its history.
You will see some pieces sold as "Expo 67". That is a dealer story, and at least one of those listings says the design dates to 1968, so treat it with care.
Pieces to know
- "Martini" coffee and side tables (dated 1968 in listings; prized by collectors)
- Floating teak cocktail and side tables
- Teak dresser with a hidden round mirror
- Nightstands, credenzas and dining chairs
What makes one worth more
- A visible RS Associates label
- The Martini tables and other recognisable designs
- Solid teak with the original finish, or finish that refinishes well
- Complete sets (a coffee table with its matching side tables)
We price every piece from what comparable pieces have actually sold for, its condition and the work it needs. Damage is fine: we restore everything in our Edmonton shop.
