Danish Solid Teak Extension Dining Table by Finn Juhl for France & Daverkosen

Danish Modern Finn Juhl for France and Daverkosen extension table model 540, ca. mid-1950s (early example pre-dating the France & Son version).
Composed entirely of sold teak (no veneer was employed) and built extremely well to withstand the test of time, accommodating even the heaviest of use.
Thoughtfully designed with a sculptural, functional lip on each end to grip when separating the table to reveal two additional leaves stored within.
No detail was overlooked in this design – it embodies the union of form and function serving as a solid, durable table without compromising style.
Interior rails slide smoothly, and the table opens with ease, allowing a simple transition from a compact table suitable for six people to a much larger, grand dining table that accommodates ten to twelve (images of the ten Ico Parisi and eight Niels Møller chairs, respectively, illustrate possible configurations – chairs are listed separately).
Very good, refinished condition – only light scuffs/wear remain.
Branded “FD – France and Daverkosen Made in Denmark” and retains the John Stuart metal retailer medallion.
