Mid-Century Walnut and Brass Expanding Dining Table by Milo Baughman

Mid-century modern expanding walnut dining table designed by the legendary Milo Baughman for Thayer Coggin, United States, circa 1970s. This striking table embodies Baughman’s signature balance of clean modernism and luxurious materials, pairing a richly figured walnut top with sculptural brass pedestal bases that create a bold architectural presence.

The thick walnut top showcases beautiful grain patterns that flow seamlessly across the surface, emphasizing the wood's quality and the precision of its construction. Beneath, the polished brass bases provide a dramatic contrast, their geometric forms reflecting light and adding warmth and enlightenment to the design. The combination of walnut and brass captures the glamour and refinement that made Baughman one of the most influential American designers of the twentieth century.

Designed with both beauty and versatility in mind, the table expands from 65.75 inches to an impressive 105.75 inches with two 20-inch extension leaves, allowing it to effortlessly accommodate intimate dinners or larger gatherings. Even when fully extended, the proportions remain elegant and visually balanced. 

Viewed from any angle, the table presents a sculptural silhouette that feels both substantial and refined. The warm walnut tones and luminous brass create a captivating focal point, while the clean lines ensure the design remains timeless. A standout example of 1970s American modernism, this table reflects the enduring appeal of Milo Baughman’s work and the exceptional craftsmanship of Thayer Coggin.
