Dansk exemplifies this lasting appreciation for Scandinavian aesthetics. Founded in the 1950s by Martha and Ted Nierenberg, the company was born from their search for finely crafted European housewares. Their journey led them to Danish sculptor and designer Jens Quistgaard, whose collaboration with Dansk would shape the brand’s identity for decades to come. From this partnership emerged thousands of pieces, many considered museum-worthy today, including this pair sculptural teak trays.

Quistgaard’s innovative use of teak became a hallmark of Dansk, allowing greater control over form and stability while minimizing the natural flaws of solid wood. Dating from the 1960s, this pair of trays remains in excellent condition. Our team has carefully restored them to the same standards upheld across our collection. Each tray was gently stripped of surface wear and treated with a food-safe mineral oil, reviving the warm luster of the teak while preserving their intended utility.

These trays are perfectly suited for elegant presentations of charcuterie, cheese, or hors d'oeuvres, and their generous proportions also allow them to function as versatile serving pieces. Beyond their utility, this particular Jens Quistgaard design is highly sought after, and finding a matched pair is especially rare.
