Chiswell Extension Dining Table — 1950s Australian Design

Sold

Timber Melamine Top | Solid Timber Legs | Original Chiswell Quality  Label attached  

A beautifully understated extension dining table by Chiswell Furniture, crafted in Sydney during the 1950s. This piece embodies the refined simplicity of early Australian modernist design — functional, durable, and effortlessly elegant.

Featuring a timber melamine top in a warm teak tone with subtle linear grain, the table offers both visual richness and easy care. The solid timber tapered legs provide a graceful stance, typical of Chiswell’s well-balanced proportions and quality joinery.

The concealed extension leaf slides smoothly to accommodate extra guests — a hallmark of Chiswell’s clever engineering from the era. Perfect for family dining or as a stylish studio or work table.
