Information

This rare dining table, designed by Svend Aage Madsen and produced by K. Knudsen & Søn in Denmark during the 1960s, exemplifies mid-century Scandinavian craftsmanship and design elegance. Crafted from solid and veneered rosewood, the table showcases a richly expressive grain pattern that adds depth and warmth to its appearance. The round tabletop features a built-in extension leaf, allowing the table to expand seamlessly from 115 cm to 173.5 cm in length. The extension mechanism is discreetly incorporated, preserving the table’s clean and harmonious aesthetic.

The base consists of finely tapered legs and a precisely crafted frame, reflecting the refined proportions typical of Madsen’s designs. The brass details within the extension mechanism provide a subtle yet sophisticated contrast to the deep tones of the rosewood, enhancing both function and style.

Svend Aage Madsen was renowned for his blend of organic forms and functional elegance, emphasizing natural materials and high-quality workmanship, while K. Knudsen & Søn was a respected Danish manufacturer known for producing meticulously crafted furniture.

The table is in very good vintage condition, exhibiting a rich patina that emphasizes the natural beauty of the rosewood. The dimensions are 115 cm in diameter (45.3 inches), extendable to 173.5 cm (68.3 inches) in length, with a height of 72 cm (28.3 inches).
