Harvey Probber Model 1287 Mid Century Modern Pedestal Dining Table c. 1950s

This Model no. 1287 dining table, designed by Harvey Probber in the 1950s, is a majestic embodiment of mid-century modern elegance and innovation. The substantial 2.5-inch thick Brazilian Rosewood top sits on a stately mahogany base, boasting a beautiful Morrocan cut-out detail that adds an exotic touch to its classic design. The table's oval form factor creates a welcoming ambiance, inviting intimate conversations and grand gatherings alike.

The true genius of Probber’s design shines in the table's functionality; it features a heavy-duty geared extension mechanism that remains solid and resolute, without any sag, even when fully extended. It includes four 16-inch leaves, allowing the table to transform from its original 72 inches to an impressive 136 inches, making it one of the longest extendable dining tables of its kind—truly a rare find.

Aside from its striking appearance and remarkable extendability, two additional support legs slide in to provide extra stability for those larger events. This iconic table, a symbol of Harvey Probber's celebrated contributions to mid-century modern design, is as much a collector’s statement piece as it is a testament to impeccable craftsmanship and timeless style.

We plan to finish the top in a medium brown walnut stain with a raw umber glaze and satin lacquer. The base ebonized and satin lacquer.
