About the Item

Mid Century Vintage mid century teak dining Table by John Herbert for A Younger Ltd – Circa 1960s Sussex Elevate your dining space with this rare Mid Century Vintage Fonseca Table designed by the acclaimed John Herbert for A Younger Ltd, circa 1960s. This iconic mid-century modern dining table combines timeless British craftsmanship with minimalist elegance, making it a standout piece for any home in Sussex or beyond. Expertly crafted from solid teak, this Fonseca dining table was originally produced for Heals and exemplifies the refined design aesthetic A Younger was celebrated for. The table features an elegant fixed-top surface with softly tapered edges and gracefully arched under-frame support, hallmarks of Herbert’s design style. With dimensions of 182 cm in length, 78 cm in width, and standing 73 cm tall, this spacious table comfortably seats six, offering two chairs on either side and room for a carver chair at each end. Mid Century Dining TABLE One of the most functional features of this mid-century dining table is its slim, narrowing ends—perfect for space-saving in smaller dining rooms or open-plan areas. The chairs tuck in fully underneath the table, allowing the set to be pushed neatly against a wall when not in use, making it ideal for modern living. A Younger was known for producing high-end, low-volume furniture in Britain throughout the 1950s and 60s, focusing on quality over quantity. As part of their coveted Fonseca range, this table is a rare find, particularly in such outstanding condition. Condition: This wonderful dining table was discovered in an old barn at a country house in Bath, where it was covered in car oil; we believe it had been used as a workbench. It has been revitalised in our workshop and is now ready to be used and cherished for another 100 years. The table is in good vintage condition, with the top completely refurbished, minor marks and wear are present, consistent with its age, ready for immediate use. Measurements: Table: L 183 cm x W 79 cm x H 73 cm 🔎 Provenance Story We found this Fonseca dining set in a rather unexpected state — tucked away in a draughty outbuilding on the edge of a country house estate near Bath. Covered in dust, tools, and a slick of car oil, the table had seen life far beyond the dining room. At some point, someone had repurposed this mid-century masterpiece as a makeshift workbench. It was forgotten, but not lost. What caught our eye was the silhouette — that unmistakable Herbert curve beneath the tabletop, even under the grime. We knew immediately it was Fonseca, and we knew it deserved to be saved. Back in our Sussex workshop, we carefully stripped, sanded, and restored the table by hand, preserving its original shape and re-staining the surface. What we love about this set isn’t just its rarity or the elegance of the design — it’s the transformation. It’s a story of survival and renewal, of British craftsmanship brought back to life with care. And now, it’s ready for its next chapter around your table. This stunning mid-century vintage Fonseca dining table is not just a functional table it's a true investment piece for collectors, interior designers, and style-conscious homeowners. Contact us today to secure this rare John Herbert original and bring timeless mid-century design into your Sussex home.
