Vintage dining table with 7 chairs by Duros (SA)
An elegant and rare vintage extendable dining table in Sapele/Mahogany paired with seven chairs by Duros, one of South Africa’s leading producers of modernist furniture.
The chairs are made from solid Burmese Teak, featuring elegantly curved backs and gently contoured seats for enhanced comfort. The table is extendable and features an elegant design with conical tapered legs based on the highly sought after Model #50 dining table designed by Omann Jun in Denmark, 1959.
Its top smoothly slides apart, accommodating the addition of a folding butterfly leaf, expanding the seating capacity to accommodate from six to up to eight individuals.
This set perfectly captures the Scandinavian design aesthetic with its clean lines, refined elegance, lightness of form and organic detailing.

Minor veneer chips on the table top edge have been professionally repaired. Please see photos for detail, more photos available on request.
As with many quality Mid-Century pieces, this design thoughtfully pairs solid wood construction with a premium wood veneer—an approach widely used at the time to highlight beautiful grain patterns while ensuring lasting stability.
