Danish Modern Teak Extending Table, Butterfly Leaf, 1960

A Danish Modern teak extending dining table from the mid-1960s, built with a self-storing butterfly leaf. The table is made from old-growth teak, with a rich colour and grain pattern that runs consistently across the top and continues into the leaf, so the extension blends seamlessly with the rest of the table. The butterfly leaf mechanism allows one person to open the table without help, extending it from a 4-seat table to a 6-seat table. When not in use, the leaf folds and stores within the table itself rather than requiring separate storage. The table stands on four solid teak legs with matching solid teak skirting for a stable, sturdy base; the legs are removable, which makes the table easier to move or store. Sized for everyday use but able to expand for larger gatherings, this table has remained with a single family since it was acquired in the 1960s. It suits a Mid-Century Modern or Scandinavian dining room, and its size and functionality also make it a strong option as a meeting room table.
