Mid-Century Modern Butterfly Dining Table from G-Plan, United Kingdom, 1950s

The table is equipped with a distinctive butterfly-leaf mechanism featuring two drop leaves, allowing it to function both as a compact occasional table and a full-sized dining table. Its lightweight construction is supported by slender tapered legs and a subtly sculpted frame, giving the piece a refined and elegant appearance. The frame is crafted from beech wood, while the tabletop is finished in teak veneer. The piece has undergone comprehensive woodworking restoration. The wooden elements were stripped of the old coating and stained in a rosewood colour. It was then finished with a durable high-quality semi-matt lacquer, providing long-lasting surface protection and an elegant appearance. Thanks to its thoughtfully designed construction, the table is ideally suited to smaller living spaces, offering the flexibility to quickly adapt the tabletop size to the user’s current needs.
