I am pleased to provide for auction today a wonderful large Danish Dining suite with impeccable pedigree!

A Combination suite comprising a Finn Juhl dining table and 8 Johannes Andersen chairs all in beautiful Teak.

Fully restored to mint condition a rare opportunity to purchase a modernist masterpiece!

T a b l e :

Designed by Finn Juhl and originally produced by France and Daverkosen, this one was made under licence by local Firm "Backhouse furniture Ltd", circa 1960. Label underneath.

The large table at 1850 becomes a massive 2730 when the 2 separate extensions are inserted!

C h a i r s :

Designed by "Johannes Andersen" for Uldum of Denmark, made I guess, circa 1960.

Beautiful from all angles these wonderful chairs are the epitome of sculptured, organic, modernist design!

The oval of rounded Teak which holds the upholstered back is a particular delight.
