Beautifully proportioned, the table features a sculptural double pedestal base with softly rounded edges and an exceptionally warm, honey-toned teak finish that highlights the dramatic natural grain throughout the top. Every surface displays the understated elegance and impeccable craftsmanship synonymous with Danish furniture from the mid-century era.

Designed with both beauty and practicality in mind, the table effortlessly transforms from an intimate dining table to a generous entertaining table through its ingenious integrated self-storing extension system. Unlike traditional extension tables requiring separate leaf storage, both original leaves are concealed neatly beneath the tabletop and glide smoothly into position using precision rack-and-pinion gearing. The result is a remarkably engineered dining table that expands in seconds while maintaining uninterrupted grain and excellent structural stability.

Whether placed within a refined mid-century interior or incorporated into a contemporary home, this table offers a sophisticated balance of Scandinavian simplicity, exceptional craftsmanship, and everyday functionality.

An increasingly difficult Danish design to source in this level of preservation.

Condition
Very good vintage condition.
The teak has developed a beautiful warm patina with vibrant grain throughout. The extension mechanism operates smoothly, with both original self-storing leaves extending and retracting effortlessly.

The table presents exceptionally well overall and retains its original finish. Minor age-appropriate surface wear, including a few light surface scratches and small finish rubs consistent with decades of careful use, are present but do not detract from the overall appearance. One latch beneath the tabletop exhibits a slight bend yet continues to function properly. Please review all photographs as they form part of the description. See less
