Hans Wegner dining table

This is a rare dining table model AT-304, designed by Hans J. Wegner and produced by Andreas Tuck in Denmark during the 1950s. The table exemplifies the Danish modern ethos of functional clarity, material refinement, and innovative joinery. Constructed from a combination of solid oak for the frame and teak veneer for the top surfaces, the table features a rich contrast between the golden tones of the oak base and the deeper reddish-brown hue of the teak top. The two drop-leaf extensions are supported by elegantly engineered brass stays that emphasize the table’s mechanical ingenuity while adding a refined metallic accent.

The frame adopts a visually light yet structurally sound approach with crossed oak legs joined by brass support rods. This configuration not only contributes to the table’s stability but also allows the leaves to fold down seamlessly, making the table highly adaptable for both compact and extended configurations. The drop-leaf mechanism and pinched X-frame base reflect Wegner’s mastery of woodworking and his focus on fine proportions and balance.

Hans J. Wegner (1914–2007) is internationally recognized as one of the leading figures of Danish modern design. Trained as a cabinetmaker and architect, he designed over 500 chairs and numerous tables, many of which are considered masterpieces of 20th-century furniture. Wegner’s work is distinguished by his commitment to craftsmanship, his understanding of materials, and his ability to fuse tradition with modernism. His collaboration with Andreas Tuck began in the 1940s, and the firm became a key producer of Wegner’s early tables.

Andreas Tuck was a respected Danish manufacturer known for its close collaboration with Hans J. Wegner and for producing high-quality furniture with impeccable attention to detail. Pieces from this collaboration often bear the “Danish Furnituremakers Control” mark, a guarantee of quality and authenticity in Danish craftsmanship, as seen in the branding on this piece.

This table is presented in good vintage condition, showing only minor signs of wear consistent with age and careful use. The wood has been professionally restored, preserving the patina and character while stabilizing the structure.

The dimensions are 132 cm wide (52 inches) when closed and extendable to 238 cm (93.7 inches) in length, with a depth of 86 cm (33.9 inches) and a height of 72 cm (28.3 inches), offering a versatile footprint suitable for both everyday and formal dining settings. This model remains an exemplary representation of Scandinavian mid-century design, merging utilitarian sensibility with sculptural elegance.
