Vintage Rosewood Dining Table & 6 Dining Chairs Set by Tom Robertson for McIntosh, 1960s

Step back into the golden age of Scottish design with this exceptional 1960s dining suite, designed by the acclaimed Tom Robertson for McIntosh of Kirkcaldy. This set perfectly encapsulates the elegance, craftsmanship, and ingenious engineering that defined Mid-Century furniture. Crafted from richly grained, warm rosewood, the circular table (122 cm diameter) is a masterpiece of form and function. McIntosh’s clever engineering is showcased in the hidden butterfly extension mechanism, which smoothly unfolds to create a generous oval table (168 cm in length), perfect for larger gatherings. The tapered legs and subtle curvature of the table frame provide an elegant, sculpted silhouette that feels both modern and timeless.

The set is completed by six sculptural dining chairs. Their iconic design features curved, enveloping black vinyl backrests that provide exceptional lumbar support and visual distinction. The chairs’ frames are made from solid rosewood, maintaining the suite’s material continuity and elegant profile. The original black upholstery is in excellent condition, offering a sophisticated contrast to the rich wood tones.

A perfect compact dining set for an apartment or a cottage. Price is for the complete set.

Restoration Details

This set has been fully restored with great care and attention. The rosewood has been professionally refinished and finished with a French polish, enhancing the depth of grain and restoring its original lustre. All joints have been checked and secured where necessary to ensure structural integrity. The extension mechanism has been serviced and operates smoothly.

Condition
Excellent vintage condition. The table surface and extension leaf show minimal signs of wear consistent with age. The chairs are structurally sound, with the original black vinyl upholstery in excellent condition throughout.

🧡 Why It Stands Out

A rare opportunity to own a complete and cohesive Mid-Century dining suite from one of Scotland’s most respected makers. The combination of beautifully figured rosewood, sculptural chair design, and a cleverly engineered extending table makes this set as practical as it is striking.
