Mid-Century Teak Square Table Selig Furniture
This is a midcentury teak coffee table designed by Poul Jensen for Selig Furniture.
The Selig Furniture Company was founded in 1931 in Gardner, Massachusetts by Mendell Selig and Sam Wexler. By the 1950s Selig had become the America’s leading producer and importer of contemporary furniture. Selig particularly focused on importing high end designs from Denmark and Sweden. In fact, Selig was most responsible for introducing and popularizing the modern interior style that became so prevalent in the United States in post-war era. In the 1970s Selig was purchased by the Simmons mattress company.
This is a beautiful square teak coffee table with tapered edges which are a Poul Jensen signature. Of course underneath is the red integrated button, "Made in Denmark/ Imported by Selig". It was made in the 1960s.
Table measurements: 32 inches square by 16 ¾ high.
This table is in excellent vintage condition. There is minor wear consistent with age and some minor light fading but nothing serious. It is structurally sound and well made.
This is a gorgeous and difficult to find Poul Jensen creation that is pure Danish Modern style.
