DANISH MODERN TEAK BREAKFAST TABLE BY PETER HVIDT AND ORLA MOLGAARD-NIELSEN
With John Stuart label affixed, branded with France & Daverkosen to underside; circa 1950s
Item # 109TUZ29P
A rather rare and very fine breakfast table by Peter Hvidt and Ørla Molgaard-Nielsen for France & Daverkosen circa the 1950s, it is an incredibly elegant table designed entirely in solid teak. The circular top is beveled around the edges to lighten the profile, this floating over four solid turned brass balls raised on sculpted tapering legs locked in place with bow-tie supports; all of these elements break down to allow for safe and simple transport.
Designed for the breakfast nook where space is a premium, it is typical of the design power duo Hvidt and Nielsen in its unusually high quality of craftsmanship and overall richness. The table was retailed by John Stuart and retains the original label to the underside as well as the France & Daverkosen brand.
Measurements: 42 1/2" diameter x 28 3/8" H
