An Impressive and Extravagant Dining Table
This oval dining or conference table can be extended with two extra leaves, while the frame stays in the same position. The table was originally crafted by cabinetmaker Niels Vodder in Brazilian rosewood for display at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition in 1948. It was subsequently made in two different wood types with a darker top and lighter frame.
The Delicate Details
The tabletop has been finished with 30 sterling silver inlays (42 when the table is extended to its full length) that have inspired its nickname, the Judas Table. The table is classic and extravagant due to its fine details such as its silver inlays that are strewn across the tabletop like a blanket of stars.
The positioning of the silver inlays is far from coincidental and is not only a decorative feature. They indicate whether the table seats 4, 6, 8, or 10 people. With the two additional extension leaves, the table seats up to 14 people.
