About

Designed by Edward J. Wormley for Dunbar Furniture in the 1950s, this rare Model 5965 dining table is a masterclass in American modernism. Custom commissioned for the renowned John A. Colby & Sons showroom in Chicago, the table reflects the level of craftsmanship and exclusivity reserved for Dunbar’s most distinguished clientele. Constructed entirely of premium walnut, it showcases the wood's rich character and depth across every surface. The design is striking in its simplicity. A long, boat-shaped top appears to float above a pair of monumental tapered slab supports, creating a silhouette that is both sculptural and architectural. The subtle V-groove edge detail and brass-capped feet demonstrate Wormley’s talent for blending refined luxury with modern restraint. From every angle, the table commands attention while maintaining an effortless sense of balance. Beyond its visual appeal, the table was designed to adapt to the rhythms of daily life. At 84 inches long, it offers generous seating for everyday dining, while three matching extension leaves allow it to expand to an impressive 120 inches for holidays, celebrations, and large gatherings. The original wooden storage crate for the leaves remains with the table, a rare surviving detail that speaks to its provenance and care over the decades. Whether placed in a dining room or serving as the centerpiece of an architecturally designed home, this exceptional Wormley design offers collectors and design enthusiasts an opportunity to own one of Dunbar’s finest expressions of mid-century craftsmanship and timeless design.
