“Minerva” corner table by Hvidt & Mølgaard

Two-tier teak corner table with a shaped top and woven cane shelf. Peter Hvidt & Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen for France & Søn, Denmark. The “Minerva” corner table was designed by Peter Hvidt and Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen, among the most influential duos of Danish modernism, for France & Søn, the manufacturer that helped bring Danish teak furniture to international markets. The asymmetric top with rounded edges rests on three cylindrical uprights that continue as tapered legs; lower down, a square woven cane shelf lightens the composition. Under the top, a France & Son metal medallion and a “made in Denmark” stamp. Good condition. It may show signs of age and use. Please pay close attention to the photographs. AG622
