Notes

Valerie Barbour and her husband travelled regularly from Zimbabwe to Denmark during the 1950s and 1960s to buy furniture for their department store, Barbours, located in Salisbury, Rhodesia. They had met Hans Wegner, the Danish furniture designer, and purchased several of his pieces. This table was a special commission which Wegner made for Valerie Barbour. The design is a stylistic fusion of Wegner's tables model nos AT-314 and AT-312, both designed for Andreas Tuck, and the JH-570 table, which Wegner designed for Johannes Hansen, this combination making the table unique. 

 

Provenance

Purchased from Mrs Val Barbour by the current owner.
