Thanks. I looked at that link but didn't see any close-enough matches to the mark. This is a fairly mass-produced piece of furniture of comparatively modest value regardless of value but if you're willing, I'd be happy to ask a friend who deals in Midcentury Modern furniture to see if he's seen the mark. There wouldn't be an additional charge but I need your OK to consult outside of Mearto and it might take a few days. I am pretty confident the value wouldn't change but if knowing the name of the maker makes a difference, of course I would do that. Let me know if that's something you'd like me to do.
I think the first word is "Lunette" and you can find examples online. I can't make out the second word. See the link below.
