Unusual Teak Dining Table by Rastad & Relling, Norway - SOLD

This is a very beautiful and unusual dining table, Model R3, made by Gustav Bahus in Norway in the early 1960s and Rolf Rastad and Adolf Relling. It features an unusual tapered shape, beautiful edging detail, turned solid afrormosia legs, and two leaves that store inside the table when not in use. We rescued this beauty from under a thick layer of old oil and grime, and it’s now back to its former glory :)

The table is in excellent vintage condition with only minor signs of wear. The veneer is ever so slightly raised at one corner. One leaf has a slight chip along the center edge, the other has a repaired chip near one end. As is common with vintage teak tables, the leaves are slightly lighter than the table due to being exposed to a different amount of light.

63” x 38 1/8” x 28 7/8” high
With one leaf: 79 1/2”
With both leaves: 96 1/4”

Spectacular Danish Teak & Brass Dining Table by Peter Hvidt & Orla Molgaard-Nielsen - SOLD

A sculptural teak drop-leaf table, Model No. 20/59 designed by Peter Hvidt & Orla Molgaard-Nielsen, c. 1960, for France & Son, Denmark. The graceful carved solid teak legs with brass hardware details swing out to support the elegant leaves to create an elongated oval surface. This is a perfectly versatile table: designed to be used as a beautiful console table with the leaves down; or, for small homes, it can be used against the wall with one leaf extended as a small table for 2 or 3, and then pulled out and fully opened to seat more. (With no apron in the way, arm chairs can slide all the way under the tabletop, an uncommon feature in Danish tables of this era. )This table is just gorgeous from any angle!

Literature: Mobilia 1960, Ellekilde catalogue, no. 48, fig. 203.

In excellent vintage condition. The corners of the leaves have a couple of tiny chips as shown. The table top has a few light scratches.
