About the Item

A timelessly designed dining table that Michael Taylor did for Baker Furniture. This table starts out as a rectangle but with three impressive leaves it can extend to 122" (each leaf is 18" x 38"). The table has a slight chinoiserie feel (especially at the bottom of the table legs). It was part of the Far East Collection he did for Baker. It has small brass wheels at the bottom of the table legs that make it easier to extend the table. The Michael Taylor Far East Collection for Baker Furniture is a highly sought-after line of Mid-Century Modern furniture designed in the 1950s and 1960s. It is recognized for blending Hollywood Regency glamour with traditional Asian (Chinoiserie) aesthetics, characterized by its "understated luxury" and high-quality craftsmanship. Michael Taylor (1927–1986) was a renowned American interior and furniture designer widely credited as the creator of the influential "California Look". He was known for his innovative approach to design, blending different styles and prioritizing natural light, organic materials, and a sense of "understated luxury". This table is a great example of his understated style.

Young Manufacturing Company Mid-Century Modern Walnut Dining Table

Young Manufacturing Company Mid-Century Modern Walnut Dining Table

By Young Manufacturing Company

Located in Trenton, NJ

This dining table was produced by Young Manufacturing Company, an American furniture maker active through the mid-twentieth century whose case goods and dining pieces are increasingly sought after by collectors assembling authentic, well-made mid-century American interiors alongside better-documented names. The design language is unmistakable: a rectangular top with subtly curved short ends and a soft, hand-finished bevel along the entire perimeter, paired with slender, gently splayed, tapered legs that terminate in a narrow foot — a silhouette Young Mfg. carried consistently across its dining tables, chairs, and bedroom case goods throughout the decade. The walnut selected for this piece shows the kind of even, warm-toned grain figure the maker was known for, book-matched across the top surface. Young Manufacturing's work is frequently found in the company of, and paired by collectors and designers with, more widely documented American mid-century producers — Founders, Lane, Broyhill, American of Martinsville — as well as imported Scandinavian pieces from the same period, thanks to a shared design vocabulary of tapered legs, walnut and teak tonal warmth, and restrained ornamentation. As interest in lesser-known but well-made American manufacturers continues to grow among mid-century specialists, tables like this one represent an increasingly attractive entry point: the design pedigree and material quality of the era, without the premium attached to the handful of designer names most collectors already know. This table would suit a dedicated mid-century interior, a transitional dining space looking for one grounding vintage piece, or a design project sourcing genuine period American walnut furniture...
