Danish Teak Round-to-Oval Extendable Dining Table

A Danish teak dining table from the 1960s, round in its everyday configuration and oval with both leaves in.

The top is teak with open, clearly figured grain, and the profile is kept plain — no apron detailing or edge moulding to interrupt the surface. At 43.25 inches across it reads as a compact round table and takes up correspondingly little floor space.

The frame draws apart to accept two original leaves, each 20.375 inches wide, taking the table to 63.875 inches fully extended. The leaves are separate rather than self-storing, so they stow away when the table is closed. The legs are round and removable, which makes the table far easier to move through a doorway or up a staircase than its extended length would suggest.

The top surface has been fully refinished. The grain reads cleanly and evenly across the surface as a result, rather than carrying the patina of an untouched original finish.

Closed, the table suits four. Extended, it seats six comfortably and eight when needed. That range is the practical argument for it: a table that lives small day to day and opens up when there are people to feed.
