Peter Hvidt & Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen Solid Teak Gateleg Dining Table, 1956
Elegant Danish Modern Model 20/59 solid teak drop-leaf dining table, designed by Peter Hvidt and Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen in 1956 and manufactured by France & Søn, Denmark.
Finely crafted of solid teak, featuring a beautifully grained oval top and sculptural gateleg base with original brass orb hinges, allowing the supports to swing effortlessly into position. Both leaves fold independently, transforming the table from a spacious dining table seating up to eight into a compact console.
An outstanding example of Danish craftsmanship, combining refined architectural design with exceptional materials, versatility, and functionality.
Professionally restored by our in-house craftspeople in a natural oil finish, highlighting the rich grain and warm tones of the teak. Excellent condition with only minor signs of age-appropriate use.
