Mid-Century G Plan (UK) ‘Fresco’ teak extendable oval dining table and 6 chairs

A very rare and Iconic Mid-Century ‘Fresco’ Oval Extendable Teak Dining Table by Victor Wilkins for G Plan (UK), 1960s.

Both the table and chairs feature a timeless design and beautiful teak wood. The table has an oval shape and can extend to an eight-seater oval table and features a vibrant teak wood grain and solid Afromosia & teak legs. The top slides apart to allow the addition of the folding butterfly leaf to seat 8.  The 6 matching G Plan chairs have a  sophisticated design featuring their original solid teak wood frame with curved teak back supports and round seats upholstered in black leatherette. Stamped. 

 

G-Plan was a pioneering range of furniture in the United Kingdom, produced by E Gomme Ltd of High Wycombe.

 

The condition is very good for its age, with light wear. The chairs were reupholstered by the previous owner in black faux leather and are still in good condition. Some of the chairs have minor repairs to the cross stretchers, they are in overall good condition. The table has been fully restored & sealed and the set is in great vintage condition, the chairs have been cleaned and polished.

Why vintage G Plan should be on your radar:

For furniture connoisseurs, G Plan is a household name. A rival to Ercol as a leading British 20th century brand – both founders Gomme and Ercolani were in fact close friends and professional peers – G Plan has produced some of the most recognisable furniture models over the last fifty years. Even if you do not know it yet, it is worth putting G Plan on your radar! An unchanging presence in many British households, G Plan blends very well with design across most eras. The timeless, simple contours of G Plan make it feasible for use in interiors both as statement design pieces and as stylish backdrop furniture to accentuate other leading features. The wood typically used in G Plan is teak, known for its rich depth of colour and practicality for everyday use.

As with mostly all Mid-Century pieces, it is a good combination of solid wood and a high-quality wood veneer.
