Description
A compact modernist drop-leaf table designed and made by David Joel Ltd in Kingston-upon-Thames in the early 1950s. Originally designed as a library or reading table, this versatile design would work equally well as a four-seater dining table. The frame, legs, and distinctive arched feet of the table are constructed in solid beechwood with the table top finished in a striking Indian laurel veneer. The drop leaves are supported by long struts that latch into place as the leaves are raised and can be locked underneath to make them fully secure. The mechanism forms an attractive criss-cross detail below the table.
The table top has been re-polished. There are a few small marks and tiny chip repairs consistent with age but otherwise in good condition.
Approx. dimensions (cm): 149.5w (82 when folded) x 75d x 71.5h
