This is a truly magnificent midcentury table and a first for us at Original Homewares – we’ve never come across this Vanson model before. It’s expertly crafted in top quality teak and with squared off legs. It dates from the 1960s and was designed by Peter Hayward for renowned furniture maker, Vanson. As a designer Hayward was sought after and highly regarded, designing for many of the major British midcentury brands from Greaves & Thomas to Uniflex to Heals. What makes this particular table stand out from others are the thoughtful, understated design details. The deeply bevelled edge that borders the whole table top and the curved sides and ends that soften this otherwise substantial, rectangular piece. The extension section resides underneath the main table and when in position, it adds significantly to its width, taking it to over 2.1m. It can readily accommodate six-eight diners. The table top has been carefully restored bringing its fine grain back to life and this table is ready for service for another 60 years.
