1950s drop-leaf table by Skaraborgs

1950s Swedish drop-leaf dining table by Skaraborgs with original label, adjustable single or double leaf opening. 1950s Swedish drop-leaf dining table, the traditional “slagbord” type, produced by Skaraborgs Möbelindustri of Tibro, a town renowned for its high-quality woodworking tradition. The original manufacturer’s label is present inside. The “slagbord” originated in Scandinavian culture as a domestic worktable: a practical surface that could be folded down to save space in rural homes. During the 20th century, this model was reinterpreted through a modernist lens, preserving its functional essence and restrained form. The top can be opened fully or on one side only; each leaf measures 62 cm, reaching a total length of 168 cm when fully extended. Slender legs and clean lines express the balanced practicality typical of Nordic design of the period. Good condition. May show signs of age. Please pay attention to the photographs. AF901.
