1960’s Dalescraft teak dining table with removable legs
Unlike most British Mid-Century dining tables the quality maker Dalescraft made many of their dining tables with removable legs which is great for moving them and for storing them. Their main competitors at the time only made tables with fixed legs apart from 1 by G Plan and another by White and Newton neither of which are as nice a quality and also rarely come up for sale. This design dates to the early 1960’s.
Malcolm David Walker an the company in the 1960’s and 70’s as well as designing all their pieces. This talented man was heavily influenced by Scandinavian pieces. Nice clean lines along with well made practical pieces was his forte. Here the angled edge of the table is a smart feature along with it’s practicality. The large extension leaf is stored under the top when not in use unlike many Danish tables where the leaves have to be stored in cupboards etc when not needed.
It seats 6 without the extension leaf and 8 comfortably with it in place. At a push you could squeeze another chai at each end as well.
167cms x 97.5cms un-extended, the large leaf adds 80.5cmstaking it to to 247.5cms. Table height 74cms
Condition
Cleaned and oiled with no obvious marks or scratches. As with all vintage furniture you have to expect to see some minor signs of wear if you look very closely.
