Danish Teak Draw-Leaf Dining Table, Denmark, 1960s
Square to Rectangle, With Two Leaves Stored Beneath
A Danish teak dining table built on the draw-leaf principle, one of the most practical and enduring ideas in Scandinavian furniture design.
Its quiet sophistication rests on a few considered details: a top framed in mitred teak banding with a softened edge, round tapered legs set square at the corners, and two leaves stored beneath the top, drawn out from either end so the centre settles flush between them.
Closed, it is a generous square for four. With both leaves drawn out, it extends to 195 cm, seating six comfortably and eight at a pinch, without a leaf ever needing to be stored elsewhere.

Condition Report
Very good. The table has been restored and refinished in-house, and both leaves draw out smoothly and sit flush with the top. Two things show on close inspection. One is a historic veneer insert on one of the leaves. The other is a fine hairline in the veneer, running in a gentle curve across the centre panel. Both are stable and finished in, and neither affects use; close-up photographs are available on request. As with all authentic mid-century pieces, gentle signs of age remain and are considered part of their character.
