Description from the seller
Iconic Danish mid-century tray – Dansk Design – Jens H. Quistgaard (IHQ) – circa the 1950s/60s
Very beautiful and authentic Danish design tray, designed by Jens H. Quistgaard for Dansk Designs. This generous collectible tray is a beautiful example of the functional, timeless Scandinavian design for which Quistgaard became internationally famous.
The tray is made of solid teak and is characterized by a warm, deep wood color with a lively and elegant grain pattern. The design is typical of Quistgaard: organic, clean, and perfectly balanced, with subtly integrated handles and refined, milled details along the long sides. This makes the tray look both practical and sculptural.
At the bottom the tray is clearly marked with “Dansk Design – IHQ,” where IHQ stands for Jens Harald Quistgaard. This marking confirms the authenticity and places the object in the original Dansk production from the 1950s–1960s, the heyday of Danish mid-century design.
Designer
Jens H. Quistgaard was the leading designer and creative force behind Dansk Design. His work is praised for the way everyday objects are elevated into design objects. Quistgaard's designs are today highly prized by collectors and interior designers worldwide.
Thanks to this generous size, the tray is perfectly suitable as:
• serving tray for coffee, tea or cocktails
• decorative centerpiece on a table or sideboard
• stylish object in a Scandinavian or Japandi interior
The object is signed on the underside—see the photos—and it has a small repair on the milled long side, which does not detract from the overall piece.
Dimensions: L 52 cm x W 26 cm x H 4.5 cm
Weight: 657 grams
The quiet beauty of imperfection: vintage with patina, worn by time and story, carefully chosen. It will be securely packaged with smart shipping, sent by registered mail and insured, with tracking.
Seller's Story
I have a passion for vintage design, and my objects mainly come from Scandinavia. I seek out unique gems that are then offered to new owners through this platform. I ensure that the objects are very well packaged so they can arrive safely. I hope that, through my circular mission of sustainability, these beautiful objects can be given a second life, serving as a good example for many others.
