[63162] AH McINTOSH Vintage Rectangle Dining Table, 2-Tier, Extendable, Teak, Extendable, British, Large

The T3 Vintage extendable dining table was designed by Tom Robertson for AHMcIntosh, one of the most iconic brands of the British mid-century.

This extension table can be easily expanded by unfolding the extension top stored under the tabletop. It is a large table with two levels of expansion, which can be used for 2-4 people on a regular basis, or for 6 people when guests come over, and can be expanded one more level to accommodate 8-10 people. The warm texture of the vintage teak is beautiful, and this is a product that can be said to be unique to McINTOSH, with a beauty and charm that is different from G-PLAN furniture.

He is known for his smooth, flowing handle designs and leg frame designs, and is still highly regarded today as one of the leading designers who supported the rapid growth of AHMcINTOSH.

Teak (real teak)
Teak wood from northern Thailand and Myanmar grows slowly in harsh environments, slowly accumulating oils, and has strong anti-corrosive, water-resistant, anti-rot, and insect-repellent properties, with little shrinkage and a beautiful, dense wood grain, so it has been prized as one of the world's three most precious woods, along with Brazilian rosewood and Honduran mahogany. Teak wood from this region is harvested using a special method called "rolling dry" that takes 3 to 5 years to drain the water from the tree while it is still standing, making it very suitable for processing. This method also gives it the name "dry teak." Teak wood has been used as a material for Scandinavian and high-end furniture, but its population has drastically decreased and it has become extremely rare and valuable. Currently, the teak wood in circulation is mainly "Indonesian teak" artificially cultivated in Java, Indonesia, but it grows quickly and is harvested while still young, so it is inferior in beauty of grain and durability.
