Danish Teak and Cane Side Table by Selig

Good design comes in all shapes and sizes.  And, uncovering great vintage design in the wild sometimes means acquiring specimens that have experienced a few ups and downs in their lifetime.  Even though some pieces are a bit more than "gently used," their good design shines through.

Such is the case with this excellent Danish teak side table manufactured for Selig, the design of which is sometimes attributed to Ib Kofod Larsen.  Nice slight raised edges, gentely tapered legs, a caned lower shelf, and wonderful proportions throughout. Everything you'd expect from a well-respected Danish design house.

As you can see from the pics, the caning is not perfect - although it easily supports magazines and you could leave it as is.  The top has some dings but, again, it could easily be used as-is.  If you enjoy DIY projects, however, this might be a fun - and worthwhile - project.

30" long, 18" wide, 20 1/2" high.

SOLD.  Thanks, Sheerine @ Chicago!
