This is a beautiful early Jon Jansen Backhouse table with its amazing solid timber top crafted in stunning blond Oak, A truly iconic slice of New Zealand made design and craftsmanship at its best. Now With these original matching chairs that Ive just restored top to bottom designed by Joe Backhuse.
Locally produced pieces have always been my favourite and this suite sure makes you look twice which easily holds its own against the best of fine Danish furniture. A fantastic Diamond rectangular banquet table to accommodate all the family and friends to eat and socialise featuring great proportions and a set of six Jon Jansen diamond back chairs in Oak which is very rare indeed.
A solid (25mm thick) Oak top with highly figured swirling tiger grain, under-which a solid oversized frame rests on four Oak tapering legs.
Condition: The table has been completely restored top to bottom, all joints have been re-laminated including the skirt using an epoxy resin for extra strength, then stripped, and age related blemishes properly filled, sealed and finished with eight or more coats of Danish oil and wax. the top is fastened down with expansion/contraction brackets as seen underneath for the massive length of the timber to move naturally. The Chairs have also been disassembled , stripped, cleaned and sanded, properly re-doweled, glued and clamped, final fine hand sanding then finished in six or more coats of Danish oil and wax.
