Rosewood, Oak and Teak Expandable Table by Unknown Maker
Published on: By Gail Garlick
This cleverly designed table can serve as a simple teak and oak table for four or can extend to an elegant banquet length which seats ten. It’s hinges are reversible allowing you to drop one or both leaves if you prefer. The design of this table is very carefully considered and each aspect has been beautifully resolved. Thirteen years ago I bought and sold the same model. It was then and is now a favorite find. Despite extensive research it’s maker remains a mystery, although it is likely Scandinavian in origin.

An example of these bowls is held in the permanant collections of the Dallas Art Museum and The Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas Madrid. An example of the bowl was also shown in a traveling exhibition at the Cooper Hewitt Museum in 2001.
