Vintage Danish imported dining-room table by Dyrlund in Brazilian Rosewood

Vintage Danish imported Sculptural extendable oval/elliptical dining-room table by Dyrlund (Denmark) in Brazilian Rosewood and teak. Imported from Denmark, with makers mark.

 

It is round with two extension leaves to make a large oval-shaped table. It can seat 10-12 people (max. 255 cm). It is perfect for everyday use and extends for a dinner party.

 

 

It features a thick, rounded solid rosewood edging around the entire diameter of the edges, glowing, carefully chosen, breathtaking book-matched rosewood veneer top and a sculptural connected split pedestal base. Crafted in Brazilian Rosewood by Dyrlund in Denmark.

 

This exquisite oval Brazilian Rosewood dining table by Dyrlund is incredibly solid and well-made, designed to last for generations. There are two leaves with a wonderful brass peg-and-inset locking system that store inside the table for added convenience and protection. Without the leaves, this table seats 6 comfortably. Each leaf adds about 50cm, so with one it seats 8 and with both it seats 10, or even 12.

 

An exceptional Heirloom piece.

 

Rosewood is listed in the CITES Appendix I, and classified as “Endangered” on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species; part of the Dalbergia -genus worldwide exportation ban.

 

Dimensions: w 114 cm wide x from 165, 210 to 255 (fully extended) x h 72cm.

 

Very good vintage condition, retains the Dyrlund Furniture Control tag. It was lightly restored.

 

Note that as with most extendable dining room tables, there might be a slight color variation between the centre extendable pieces and the two outer table leaves. This usually happens due to the fact that the centre extendable piece hardly got used.

 

Great Mid-Century Designers 101: Dyrlund 

From its debut in 1960, Danish furniture manufacturer Dyrlund made a deliberate decision to use only traditional Danish cabinet-making techniques in its furniture. This company policy is still followed today in the office and home furnishings the company creates, resulting in products recognized the world over for their “practicality, solid construction, detailing to perfection, and classic design.” (Dyrlund) Antiques of Tomorrow Dyrlund has followed the same design and construction processes since its launch more than 50 years ago.  Because they use traditional cabinet-making techniques and hand finishing, they employ only tradespeople of the highest skill level. The hand finishing is critical: it sets Dyrlund’s pieces apart and ensures they “grow more beautiful with time” to become “the antiques of tomorrow.” (Dyrlund) The company’s current furniture may be the antiques of tomorrow, but their past works are today’s highly sought-after vintage pieces. Dyrlund’s mid-century furniture is prized for its exceptional craftsmanship and timeless, minimalist aesthetic, but also for certain signature elements and ingenious designs that were theirs alone. Whether developed in-house or created by the well-known designers they partnered with, Dyrlund’s mid-century modern pieces are in demand on the collectors’ market.   

 

Like many mid-century furniture manufacturers, Dyrlund worked with some of the more notable designers of the period like Gunni Omman, Johannes Andersen, Erik Buch, Knud Bent.

 

Dyrlund was known for using solid wood pedestal table legs that offered stability while also allowing plenty of legroom. Dining table tops were equally solid and crafted to accentuate the grain of the wood. Although fully dedicated to traditional techniques, Dyrlund has a long legacy of truly modern and innovative designs. So strong is its reputation that the company, now known as Dyrlund-Smith A/S, counts among its clients many celebrities and heads of state. Its vintage pieces are a testament to the quality of the Dyrlund brand, signified with a gold seal logo, indicating that when it comes to furniture production, "only the best will do."
