Richard Hornby designed for the small quality maker of Fyne Ladye Furniture of Banbury in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It is made from solid Burma Teak wood and has an additional leaf, stored away underneath its top, which can be added to extend its length. It has attractive design features such as the curves to its top – convex along the longer edges and concave along the ends. The table has those gorgeous tapering legs, so popular during the mid century.

Virtually all the pieces by Fyne Ladye are in solid afromosia or Burmese teak, and only occasionally do you see their pieces in teak. Burmese teak is a darker type of wood that is sometimes given other names like African teak. The use of solid woods like this are rarely seen by British makers after around 1962 due to the costs involved in sourcing the right timber.

Many pieces by Fyne Ladye Furniture are unlabelled as they were often sold through up-market small retailers who didn’t like makers own labels to be found on furniture.

The table is in lovely unrestored clean vintage condition.  The set of dining chairs have been professionally upholstered in Camira Fabric Main Line Twist ‘Creel’.
