Calling something in this industry "rare", is typically an eye-rolling cliche, but this massive ellipse is a unicorn. Moreover, you'll never find one in this condition.

What makes this table so special? Let’s start with Dyrlund's outstanding reputation for quality, evident in the choice of what appears to me several teak species selected for the tabletop, leaves and base. The expansion mechanics of the leaves are nothing short of genius. The tabletop starts as a 64 1/8" x 34 7/8" oval and expands to a 51 3/4" x 98 1/2" oval. The increase is substantial and because of the obvious practicality, this is not a novelty table by any means.

Each of the curved extensions "flap" open with solid chrome hinges that add a touch of modern, industrial style. This stunning teak tabletop with fiery cathedral grain is supported by a square teak pedestal base. The engineering of this table cannot be overstated, solidifying the table as a favorite among collectors and party-throwers alike.

Made in Denmark, circa late 1960's to early 1970's. Stamped with the maker underneath.
