Solid Teak Gateleg Dining Table by Peter Hvidt & Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen for France & Son, Denmark, 1960s

£2,650.00

An exceptional solid teak gateleg dining table designed by Peter Hvidt & Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen for France & Son, Denmark, circa 1960s.

Celebrated for their elegant engineering and clean modern lines, Hvidt & Mølgaard-Nielsen’s work is instantly recognisable — and this table is a wonderful example. Crafted entirely from solid teak, the piece features a beautifully grained oval top paired with sculptural U-shaped legs and gently curving cross supports.

The clever gateleg design allows the table to be used in three configurations: fully extended for dining and entertaining, half-open as a practical everyday table, or lowered entirely as a slim console against a wall. The folding mechanism operates smoothly and securely, reflecting the high level of Danish craftsmanship throughout.

The table is presented in fantastic condition, with a rich, even tone to the teak and a clean, well-preserved surface. This is a versatile and highly collectible piece that balances architectural presence with everyday usability — a standout addition to both contemporary and classic interiors.

Dimensions: 163cm long x 46cm deep x 145cm deep when open x 72cm high.
