Large Mid-Century Round Teak Dining Table from Gordon Russell, United Kingdom, 1955

A rare, super quality 1950s circular dining table by renowned British designer Gordon Russell, which will seat up to 8 people. The beautifully simplistic, well-crafted design of this teak dining table has been lavished with hand-crafted details. The top is book-matched using quarter-sawn teak, banded with 12 individual pieces of bentwood edging, the profile with a really lovey sculptured rebate. Sat on four splayed tapering legs supported by elegant cross stretchers. Makers label to the underside “Russell of Broadway”.
This table has been loved, and is in very good period condition.
