Danish Cabinetmaker Dining Table - Extendable to 350cm for 12/14 seats

About the Item

This bespoke dining table was made in the 1960s by a cabinetmaker in Denmark. This dining table was found with a set of chairs made by cabinetmaker Gustav Bertelsen and designed by Steffan Syrach Larsen. The angular detailing of the table top edge combined with the oval shape and round tapering legs suggest that the table was ordered and made in the 1960s. Measuring 77cm high, the table is 5cm higher than most midcentury tables, having had "sabon" added at a later date, probably to accommodate a set of contemporary chairs with seat heights of 46-49cm. The sabon can be removed without leaving any traces, which would lower the table by 4cm to 73cm height and put the table at the correct height for midcentury chairs that typically have seat heights of 43-44cm. The table is 186cm long when not extended and extends with up to three leaves giving 240/295/350cm and allowing for 8/10/12 seats. The table is 115cm across. The table has been re-polished and is water resistant and suitable for regular use.

Danish Cabinetmaker Dining Table - Extendable to 325cm for 12 seats
Located in London, GB
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...

Iconic Danish Midcentury Rosewood Dining Table
By H. Sigh & Søns Møbelfabrik AS, Helge Vestergaard-Jensen
Located in London, GB
This table is 190cm long when extended and 140cm long when butterfly extension leaf is folded under the table top. All surfaces have been lightly sanded to even out any variation in colour between the main halves and the extension leaf. All surfaces have then been re-lacquered to make water resistant. This table has been attributed by some sellers on 1stdibs and some experts to Helge Vestergaard Jensen. I have in my possession both the table documented as designed by Helge Vestergaard Jensen (not for sale in this listing) and, obviously, this table for sale here in this listing. The design and construction are significantly different. I have seen this design with a label from H Sigh and Sonner...
