Information

This rare Danish coffee table in rosewood is attributed to the style of Peder Moos and was produced in Denmark during the 1950s. Crafted entirely from solid rosewood, the table showcases a pronounced and expressive grain with a deep reddish-brown tone that highlights the natural variations of the wood species. The rectangular tabletop features softly rounded edges and corners, with a subtly beveled profile that reduces visual weight while preserving a sense of mass and presence.

The frame consists of finely tapered legs with subtle faceting, seamlessly integrated into the joinery without visible hardware—an approach that reflects the handcrafted methodology associated with Peder Moos. Beneath the tabletop, a suspended grid shelf made of slender rosewood dowels arranged in a precise lattice offers additional storage while contributing to the table’s sculptural and open aesthetic. The intersections of the lattice demonstrate high craftsmanship, with gently chamfered edges and smooth transitions throughout.

Though unsigned, the table closely aligns with the spirit and technical mastery of Peder Moos’ work. Moos (1906–1991) was a Danish cabinetmaker known for his bespoke creations, innovative joinery, and organic design sensibility. Operating independently of major manufacturers, his limited production pieces emphasize handcrafted quality and avoidance of standardized fittings. While this table may not be directly attributed to Moos, it is stylistically and technically rooted in the Danish cabinetmaking tradition he helped define.

The table is in excellent vintage condition, showing only minimal signs of use. The surface has been lightly refinished to enhance the natural luster of the rosewood while maintaining the piece’s original character.

Dimensions are 100 cm in width, 54 cm in depth, and 60 cm in height (approximately 39.4 x 21.3 x 23.6 inches).
