Peter Hvidt Coffee and End Tables

Best thing I have bought in the past while are a France and Co coffee and end table set. Each piece has a stamp/disc underneath, signifying that it is made/sold by France and Co. The design is by Peter Hvidt, a very well known Danish furniture designer, circa approx 1959-1962.

The coffee table has an ebonized draw leaf and the end tables have thin but full drawers.
The Pictures below are NOT of my set, but a very close approximation of mine. The same curled up ends, the same finger joint leg/frame connections, the same material (I assume it is rosewood)

There are minor scuffing to the legs, and a couple of minor dings on the tops. They are presently being shown in my booth in the Stratford (Ontario) Antique Warehouse for $1650.00 Cdn.

Pictures will be coming..

Hello Antique Hunters

Well, here is the beginning of a new venture onto the web. A sort of virtual store for my hard to find items.

I am David Burns, owner and chief bottle washer for David Burns Antiques!! I sell through many different venues all across Ontario, including Aberfoyle Antiques Market in the summer, St Lawrence Sunday Market, downtown Toronto in the wintertime, at Southworks, St Jacobs and Market Lane Antique Malls in St Jacobs, Stratford Antique Warehouse and various Mall and outdoor shows throughout the year!!. Like so many other people in this business, I also sell on ebay, under the name "davidburnsantiques".

If you wish to email me, or order something, please, just email me at

davidburns@rogers.com

and I will get the item to you as fast as I can!!!

Watch out for new items, stories on my travels and who knows, maybe I will share a few anecdotes that only an antiques dealer (or David Burns) can experience!!

Thanks...
David
