Description: | This table was originally owned by a family who lived in Kilburn, north London. They lived in a mid-nineteenth century semi-detached suburban villa and used this table in the living room. They decorated the room with a mixture of contemporary furniture and antiques. They purchased it when it was new from Heal?s on Tottenham Court Road. The tabletop and legs are separate, so that the top may be used as a tray. At the time when they bought it, it had been stored in damp conditions so the top was slightly warped. Because of that, they were able to buy it for ��15, which was about a third of its original price. It was made in Denmark and Scandinavian designs like this one were very popular in the 1960s. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Geffrye Museum | Rights holder: | Geffrye Museum | Subjects: | Art and Design Home and Family | Temporal: | c.1958 | Source: | Geffrye Museum | Creator: | Fritz Hansen Ltd | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
