Designer: Peter Hvidt (1916-1986) and Olga Molgaard-Nielson (1907-1993)

Manufacturer: France & Daverkosen, Denmark

Description:  A relatively scarce pair of occasional '523' tables in teak with the original tube steel legs designed by Peter Hvidt (1916-1986) and Olga Molgaard-Nielson (1907-1993) for France & Daverkosen of Denmark in 1952.  These tables have a lovely rich patina and are in very good vintage condition, save of one table one leg has its black 'foot' missing.  As one would expect with furniture of this age there are one or two marks on both tables, nothing of any significance.

These tables were sold singly originally but if six were purchased they could be used to make a large low table from the modular sections (known as a pinwheel table).  Alternatively the sections could be set up in a long snake-like form. 

These pieces are quite early, probably late 1950s, as they have the France & Daverkosen (later France & Son) Denmark brass disks inset.  Each table is also stamped twice with the FD logo, and once each with the patent number and the model number.  This is great Danish design!...
