John Mörkegaard Attributed Danish Copper Etched Side or Coffee Table
$650 Square Danish Mid-Century table with an etched copper top resting in a dark burgundy-stained wood frame.
Square Danish Mid-Century table with an etched copper top resting in a dark burgundy-stained wood frame. The copper panel sits slightly proud of the frame, giving it a floating quality above the clean, square-section legs. Surface etching covers the top in a dense abstract geometric pattern of fine intersecting lines, darkened with age to a deep reddish-brown tone with warm copper variation across the field. The table disassembles for shipping or transport. The combination of a dark wood frame with a decorative metal top was a recurring formula in Danish design studios of that era, balancing restraint in structure with surface ornament. The copper shows natural oxidation and tonal variation across the surface.
