celebrated for its sculptural ‘x’ base, visible joinery, and refined proportions, it remains one of the most recognizable tables of danish modernism. This particular version is especially rare and desirable: it features a solid oak base with its original steel tension bars, and a beautifully aged oak surface. Most available examples are in teak, but the oak version—warmer in tone and richer in texture—offers a far more characterful presence. The table was acquired from the original owner, who confirmed it has never been refinished or sanded. As such, the surface shows a genuine, well-aged patina that reflects seven decades of respectful use. The underside of the table bears the original andreas tuck maker’s mark, confirming its authenticity. We have chosen to keep it in its original state, though we offer the option to have it professionally restored—lightly sanded and treated with oil or wax—should the next owner prefer a fresher appearance. The solid oak frame was made by master cabinetmaker andreas tuck, and the table remains completely stable and structurally sound. It’s also highly practical: the legs can be easily removed. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
