Product description
™ "Design Classics, Design & Vintage Furniture in Like-New Condition"
For sale is a luxurious, original Tranekaer mosaic coffee table in mint condition.
ITEM:
“Town by the Water” Coffee Table
Finish: Padouk
STYLE:
Mid-Century / Danish
DESCRIPTION:
The tabletop of a Tranekaer table is composed of 3,864 individual, vertically oriented, solid wood pieces, using numerous different types of precious wood. Each tabletop has its own unique design and character. The elaborate surface treatment, carried out according to precisely defined specifications, gives the surface a uniquely beautiful, matte silk sheen. A special oil treatment provides the tabletop with excellent resistance to daily wear and tear.
The choice of wood types for the legs and aprons is precisely coordinated with the color scheme of the tabletop. Each piece of furniture is adorned with a brass plaque bearing the series and number, as well as the name of the architect and designer responsible for the artistic design.
Anyone with even a basic understanding of carpentry or woodworking can appreciate the time and meticulous craftsmanship required to create a table of this quality! This applies not only to the tabletop but also, for example, to the connection between the legs and the aprons. A special brass screw fitting was designed, its cube-shaped head serving as a design element, visibly fitted by hand into the leg.
MANUFACTURER:
Tranekaer Furniture, Tranekaer Castle, Denmark
DESIGNER:
Table design:
Gorm Lindum Christensen, originally a cabinetmaker, became an architect specializing in furniture design and related research, as well as contributing to "Industriel Dansk Design" (Industrial Danish Design); his work includes exhibitions for the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Mosaic:
Rolf Middelboe, a trained graphic artist and fabric printer from the Academy of Fine Arts, was the chairman of Industrial Danish Designers (I.D.D.). His pieces are held in collections such as the Museum of Modern Art and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
MATERIAL:
Table frame:
Padouk is an African hardwood. Padouk is among the most colorful and technically superior woods in Africa.
Mosaic:
Combination of American and African hardwoods such as Afrormosia, Tiama, Sucupira, Bibolo, and Kosipo.
COLOR:
Reddish-brown tones from light to dark brown
Note:
The photos are overexposed to show the pristine condition in detail. This makes reddish tones appear more reddish and colors generally appear lighter. The shadowed areas, or those not directly illuminated by the camera light, best represent the true colors. Any gloss, grayish, or milky appearance in the photos is due to the lighting and reflections. The surfaces have a satin to semi-gloss finish.
DIMENSIONS:
Approx. Width: 134 cm; Depth: 81.5 cm; Height: 50cm;
CONDITION:
Stunning and like new! It has been lovingly and completely restored by a professional restorer using traditional and natural materials. You'll be hard-pressed to find a better example anywhere.
