Danish Cabinetmaker Dining Table - Extendable to 325cm for 12 seats

details here

This bespoke dining table was made in the 1950s by a cabinetmaker in Denmark. The modern but classical detailing is reminscent of Ole Wanscher and Kaare Klint. The profiled edges of the table top are in keeping with Kaare Klint's English influences. The curve between the table aprons and legs is more similar to Ole Wanscher's modern interpretation of classical furniture design. The edges of table top are also curved from end to end, softening the oblong shape. Measuring 75cm high, the table is 3cm higher than most midcentury tables and therefore is more in keeping with today's dining chairs with seat heights of 46-47cm. The table is 205cm long when not extended and extends to 265cm and 325cm with one and two leaves, allowing for 8/10/12 seats. The table is 115 across. The table has not yet been re-polished in the pictures and shows a light rosewood colour that has faded with daylight for about 75 years. Upon repolishing, the table can maintain its light golden brown or be taken a shade darker, as the buyer wishes. We need 10 days to repolish to make water resistant and suitable for regular use.
