Note:
The photos are overexposed to show the excellent condition in detail! Reddish tones appear redder, and colors generally appear lighter. The shadowed areas, or those not directly illuminated by the photographic light, best represent the true colors. Any gloss or grayish or milky appearance in the photos is due to the lighting and/or exposure (reflections). The surfaces have a satin to semi-gloss finish.

PRICE:
Unfortunately, the original list price is unknown.
To give you a point of reference, if you were to buy a Danish table of this quality new today, you would be looking at around €1,500.
PRICE:
Our Whoppah price includes the Whoppah gross commission of 19.36% (16% net commission + 21% Dutch VAT).
Please do not compare our table restoration services with those offered by other providers who advertise their work as "restored" or even "professionally restored." These often consist of simply sprucing up the furniture with a little wood/teak oil or furniture polish, or attempting to repair dents and scratches with hardware store materials. You can recognize this particularly by the fact that the tabletops do not appear uniformly colored, but rather patchy. Dark stains are also frequently visible around the corners and edges of the tabletops, the aprons, or the legs, indicating that amateurish attempts have likely been made to conceal dents and scratches. Pay close attention to lighter areas (especially along the edges), as these are abrasions and dents that haven't been repaired. In the case of veneered surfaces, this is often a sign that the veneer is damaged because it has been sanded through. If you see dark lines that run perpendicular to or not in the direction of the grain, extreme caution is advised. These are scratches and pressure marks that are made even more visible by subsequent oiling, waxing, or varnishing. Removing these signs of wear is very time-consuming and requires true professional expertise and years of experience!
Therefore, be very wary of appealing adjectives (great, beautiful, etc.) combined with "patina," the ominous "vintage condition," or vague phrases like "ready to use | age-related, normal signs of wear | very good, excellent, etc. condition."
Extreme caution is advised if table surfaces appear cloudy or mottled. Here, tinted clear varnish or colored furniture wax was used in an attempt to save the piece from disposal and to conceal clearly visible defects!
Therefore, pay particular attention to whether high-resolution photos and detailed images are available, and whether these show the typical areas of wear. Otherwise, ask for close-up photos of the "patina or signs of use" and then compare the price to the condition. Keep in mind that a professional restoration is long-lasting and far more expensive than a short-lived attempt at sales optimization!
