Danish Teak Round Extending Dining Table, Denmark, 1960s
Round to Oval, With One Leaf
A Danish teak dining table that moves between two forms: an intimate round for everyday use, and an oval when guests arrive.
Its character lies in a few considered details: a top of bookmatched teak, its figure mirrored across the centre seam; a deep curved apron following the line of the top; and legs carved with a softly scooped shoulder where they meet the apron, before tapering to the floor.
Closed, it seats four comfortably, which suits a smaller dining room or open-plan living. With the leaf in place, it extends to an oval for six.
The table came to us without its original leaf. A replacement in matching teak, from the same Danish import collection, has been fitted and adjusted in our workshop to sit with the original top.

Condition Report
Very good. The table has been restored and refinished in-house, and the extension runs smoothly. The vintage leaf is a well-matched replacement. Its apron section sits marginally shorter than the original rails, which shows only when the table is open and does not affect use. As with all authentic mid-century pieces, gentle signs of age remain and are considered part of their character.
