Mid-century / McIntosh teak dining table and chairs
£375
Omschrijving
Rare opportunity to buy a desirable and complete McIntosh dining suite in original upholstery. Set comprises extending, oblong dining table 65 X 37 inches(170 X 95cm). The table can be extended by a further 15 inches or 30 inches to a fully extended and generous length of 95 inches (246 cm) by means of the McIntosh extending sections and patented mechanism. There were six chairs, two of which are carvers and all of which are superbly comfortable. Unextended, it will happily fit a modest dining area and can accommodate six easily. If you have a bit more space, then extending using the snug fitting extenders gives your guests a little more comfort or encreases the numbers of guests that you can accommodate - I have hosted up to ten with no grumbles. Works well as the everyday dining table, but the rich warm tones of the teak means it can be dressed for special occasions. Looks great with other mid-century references, but don't be afraid to add more contemporary accents such as concrete candlesticks or white marble for a touch of Gio Ponti's Parco di Principe Hotel on the Amalfi Coast (see pictures). The is a superbly flexible piece of furniture both practically and stylistically. There is, as is to be expected, some evidence of use, but it is wearing its age well and it's quality shows in both the table and chairs. The leg join is a typical, elegant McIntosh touch. The tables and chairs have been well maintained since they came into my home, benefitting from a regular rub-down with Danish oil (including extending panels) and I would guess that its previous owners took good care of it also. More than happy to provide you with more information - if you have any questions, just ask.
