Mid Century Walnut Coffee Table Copenhagen Collection by Lane, C. 1955

SOLD

This is a unique vintage, walnut coffee table from the Copenhagen Collection by Lane, manufactured in Altavista, Virginia in 1955.  With an unmistakable nod to Danish modern styling in its name, this design features a lower shelf, cylindrical support pieces, and brass capped tapered legs.  The trim on the top surface, the legs and stretchers are all solid walnut, while the horizontal surfaces are walnut veneer that has been bleached to create an warm, amber tone.  The finish has minor scratches that do not diminish the beauty of this lovely piece.  With a small footprint and a slightly flared center, this vintage table is solidly built and has an arresting profile.

Danish Modern Teak Surfboard Coffee Table by Grete Jalk

SOLD

danish modern mid century teak coffee table

This exemplary Danish Modern Teak Surfboard coffee table merges sleek, sophisticated style and practical functionality. It is a masterpiece of Danish minimalism designed by Grete Jalk for Glostrup Mobelfabrik in the 1960s. Long enough to pair with an extra- mid-century sofa, it draws the eye to the center of the room, conveying a sense of levity and motion. The sculpted trim which runs the length of the top flatters the table’s elegantly curved profile while keeping all your accoutrements safely on the tabletop. A slatted shelf offers plenty of space for reading materials or other articles to be kept out of sight. Stylishly tapered legs set off the dramatically cantilevered top, allowing it’s elliptical profile to be the center of attention. The legs, base, and trim are solid teak, and the main surface of the top is clad in matching teak veneer. This beautiful coffee table maintains it’s original finish, with minimal signs of wear appropriate for the age of the piece. It is in perfect structural condition. There is a barely noticeable separation of veneer on one corner of the top which has been stabilized. This can be seen in photos 2 and 3 below. Otherwise, this is a museum quality piece.

Surfboard Coffee Table in Hickory by Epoch

SOLD

Surfboard Coffee Table Hickory Epoch

Surfboard Coffee Table Hickory Epoch
This one of a kind coffee table was inspired by mid-century modern design, but incorporates subtle contours which can’t be found in factory-made vintage furniture. We use fine-tuned hand tools to give the edges an organic flow which just can’t be achieved with a router bit or power saw blade. Notice in the photos how the corners taper slightly to give a sleek sculptural effect reminiscent of the edge of a surfboard without being an exact copy. The overall impression of the piece also brings to mind the hull of a watercraft or a naturally worn river stone.
We produce this design in a variety of material, but the Hickory seen here is especially fetching with a deep, rich patina and plenty of textural interest. Unlike most 1960’s factory furniture, this piece received no artificial coloring. The finish is a Tung Oil Varnish which lends a natural satin sheen, repels water better than any synthetic finish, and is amazingly easy to maintain and touch up. This table measures 51″W X 21″D X 14″H. These black hairpin legs can easily be switched upon request to change the height of the table. $399
