Rosewood "Judas" Dining Table by Finn Juhl
About the Item
With the two (21.5" wide) leaves in place, the overall length is an impressive ten feet, one inch, making it suitable for seating as many as a dozen guests. Without the leaves, the overall length of the table is six-and-a-half feet. Thirty years ago I owned a slightly lesser example (in teak, not rosewood), and found it made a beautiful conference table.
The "Judas Table" was so named because the more common version of it had a tabletop decorated with inlaid silver discs, reminiscent of the coins from the story in the New Testament. This example was special-ordered from Niels Vodder without the discs, but is otherwise identical.
Signed on the underside with what is perhaps Scandinavia's most sought-after branded mark: CABINETMAKER NIELS VODDER COPENHAGEN DENMARK DESIGN FINN JUHL
Literature: "Finn Juhl Memorial Exhibition 1990", catalog, shown on p. 25.

Located in South Bend, IN
An extremely rare and exceptional mid-century Danish Modern "Judas" extension dining table. This iconic table was designed by Finn Juhl, expertly produced by cabinetmaker Niels Vodder, and retailed by Illums Bolighus of Copenhagen, Denmark. The table features an expandable oval top in stunning book-matched Brazilian rosewood, with round silver inlays, floating on a sculptural base with tapered solid rosewood legs. Made in Denmark, circa 1950s.
Branded manufacturer’s mark to underside: "Cabinetmaker Niels Vodder, Copenhagen Denmark, Design: Finn Juhl."

Professionally restored. Excellent condition.
Along with Hans Wegner, Arne Jacobsen and Børge Mogensen, Finn Juhl was one of the great masters of mid-20th-century Danish design. Juhl was the first among that group to have his work promoted overseas, bringing the character of the nation’s furnishings — and the inherent principles of grace, craftsmanship and utility on which they were based — to an international audience. A stylistic maverick, Juhl embraced expressive, free-flowing shapes in chair and sofa designs much earlier than his colleagues, yet even his quietest pieces incorporate supple, curving forms that are at once elegant and ergonomic.
Juhl quickly won a following for such signature designs as the supremely comfortable Chieftan lounge chair, the biomorphic Baker sofa, and this Judas table, ornamented with stylish inlaid silver plaquettes.
