Scandinavian dining table, vintage teak by vdn varufakta for ikea, circa 1960

Mid-century extended teak dining table, vintage, scandinavian style, circa 1960. The table was made by vdn varufakta for ikea and was part of the "monopol" series, designed by gillis lundgren. Although there is no brand, this model and series, appeared in the ikea catalog between 1963 -1966. The room is made of wood with compressed wood and particleboard, with a teak veneer finish (see photos.) the feet have a unique, elegant and beautiful sculpted design, which is specific to the monopol series (see photos.) the table is overall, in very good, original vintage condition. The tray is in a state close to new, with beautiful veining, rich warm and bright colors (see photos.) the feet are also in very good original condition (see photos), as is the frame, which has some slight marks of age and use proportionate to the time, but nothing that takes away its beauty or functionality (see photos.) the patina is also in accordance with age and use. The table is solid. It has only been slightly dusted, cleaned and polished, respecting the integrity of the original patina. In its current configuration, this table can comfortably accommodate 4 to 6 people (see photo.) although the extension is not present, we photographed it completely open, so that we can note the difference in length / width, if we choose to have an extension made. An incredible and timeless piece from the history of mid-century modern design, which will only complement the other mcm pieces. Dimensions: closed table: 155 cm, fully open: 216.5 cm.
