Danish Rosewood Two-Tier Coffee Table, Denmark, 1960s
Palisander sofabord, with cantilevered lower shelf
A Danish rosewood coffee table in which the lower shelf does the talking. It rests on the end stretchers and runs out past the legs at either end, so the shelf seems to slide through the frame rather than sit within it.
Above, a bookmatched rosewood top with a bevelled underside edge reads slim and precise from the side. Square tapered legs give the whole a light, architectural stance.
The second tier holds books, magazines or a tray of objects without crowding the top. At 145 cm long and just over half a metre deep, it suits a long sofa in a room where floor space matters.
Imported directly from Denmark. Underneath is the label of Ejby Møbelrestaurering, a Danish restorer and workshop specialising in mid-century furniture, recording the table by its Danish name, palisander sofabord. Restored and refinished in-house.
All Vintage Club pieces are carefully considered for authenticity, provenance and condition before acquisition. Restoration is undertaken in-house to the highest standard.

Condition Report
Very good. Restored and refinished in-house, the rosewood figure brought back to its full depth. The earlier Danish restorer’s label is intact. As with all authentic mid-century pieces, gentle signs of age remain and are considered part of their character.
Rosewood is a CITES-listed timber. This piece is offered for sale within South Africa; export may require CITES documentation, which remains the buyer’s responsibility.
