I've restored many mid-century Scandinavian teak dining sets over the years and this pairing is the epitome of exceptional design and attention to detail...it's absolutely gorgeous and would be a beautiful EXTRA-LONG table situation for your family/guests to gather around the next 30+ years - it nearly jumps out of these photos and into your dining room it's so stellar!
TABLE OVERVIEW: Circa 1960s, this round-to-oval teak dining table is of the utmost quality and in pristine condition. Closely inspect the pictures and you'll also notice the beautiful tabletop wood graining all the way from one end to the other with numerous #53 stampings on many elements of the table - they certainly don't make furniture of this quality anymore...danish quality and proud craftsmanship!
TABLE DIMENSIONS: The scale of this dining table would be best suited for larger-sized dining spaces as the table is both wider and extends MUCH longer than normal teak dining tables of the era. It is 49.25" round with four 19.75" extension leaves so it'll expand to 128.25" when fully extended (or 69" w/one leaf, 88.75" w/two inserted, 108" w/three leaves). Best of all, tripod (or kickstand) legs drop down when then table gets expanded for additional support and so no sagging. Normal dining table height, 29" high.
TABLE CONDITION: I've restored numerous teak tables over the years and this one is hands-down one of the most exquisite and highest quality craftsmanship, deep-and-dark old-growth teak coloring and overall condition. It's just been lovingly restored/reconditioned so it now exudes a beautiful satin sheen with that lovely warm teak glow to showcase the beautiful old-growth teak woodgrain throughout. As with all vintage furniture, there are some minor blemishes; but overall, its stunning and presents beautifully.
TABLE DIMENSIONS: 49.25" round, four 19.75" leaves. Normal dining table height of 29"
CHAIRS: Ten exquisite Niels Moller model 71 Danish teak dining chairs with brand-new, professionally-woven papercord seats. These have been in my personal collection for many years as I have slowly accumulated these Danish rarities and personally enjoyed how each one is a tad different yet same overall with slightly differing teak backrest woodgraining. When you restore mid-century furniture as long as I have, taking your time to curate and resurrect a set of epic chairs is a fun and rewarding project. These all feature new hand-woven papercord seats, thus completely resetting them to last another sixty years of elegant dining within your living space.
CHAIRS OVERVIEW: Moller chairs are widely known as the epitome of Danish design; yet within the Moller grouping of designs, the model 71 stands out as something truly special. Notice the lovely, swooped curved backrest and how the backrest struts slightly taper yet are very ergonomic, visually striking and comfortable too (always an import thing for those long family dinner or card games/puzzles)! Chairs still retain the manufacturer marked "J.L. Moller Models" medallion/stampings verifying their authenticity.
PAPERCORD SEATS: All have been correctly and professionally-rewoven with refined/traditional Danish paperchord that will never go out of style and last just as long as paperchord seats are more durable than normal fabric/leather upholstery. In short, if you're looking to exude a comfortable and fantastic midcentury vibe in your dining space for the next 30+ years, these chairs are for you.
CHAIRS CONDITION: These lovelies have been meticulously restored to enhance the beautiful wood grain, while the new papercord seats ensure years of comfortable and durable use. This level of restoration preserves the chairs' historical integrity while preparing them for modern-day usage without issue. As with all vintage furniture, there are minor blemishes that I have addressed/blended. Overall, they present beautifully and I hope someone will enjoy them as much as we have ours (see below)!
FUN FACT: We've had a set of Moller 71s with papercord seats surrounding our dining table for many years and thoroughly enjoy their lovely design and comfortability too. Owning a set of Moller chairs is more than just a set of lovely dining chairs; it's investing in a piece of design history for many generations. Their artistic expression and ergonomic form make them as relevant and appealing today as they were over seventy years ago.
CHAIR DIMENSIONS: 31" high x 19.25" wide x 17.5" deep; floor-to-seat height is 17.5"
VIEWINGS/APPOINTMENTS: In-person viewings are available by appointment and always the best way to preview things so you know exactly what you're getting. I could assist with delivery within a reasonable distance of the greater Seattle area for a nominal fee, we'll figure something out if you need. I could also coordinate shipping logistics should you live outside the area too.
If this posting is up its still available. No holds, no returns...all sales final.
