Iconic Danish Midcentury Rosewood Dining Table

About the Item

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, which was a firm of cabinetmakers on Fyn in Denmark during the 1960s. It may be that Helge Vestergaard Jensen modified his inverted tripod leg design for a second cabinetmaker, namely H Sigh and sons. I do not know. In any case, I believe with a high degree of certainty that this table was made by H Sigh and Sonner in the 1960s. The table is very well made and was in very good condition before relacquering and now, having been repolished, is very fit for the purpose of daily use as a dining table. Given that this table is made of rosewood, any buyer must accept a 3-6 week delay for the application for a CITES export permit.

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...
