Hello
I bought this Fristho Franeker dining table on the weekend. I have never seen anything by Fristho in Canada before. Is anyone able to comment on who the designer might be?
I bought it from the original owner who said they purchased it in 1963.
It is an elegant table.

I have since found 3 other examples of it and spoke to one of the dealers in Holland. He said he referenced the Fristho catalogue that has a shorter version without extensions in the catalogue.
Here are some other links

I have nothing else to go on at this point so will think of it as a Fristho table.

a picture out off the book on fristho has to many MB's but ii is the same there is a larger and smaller one
it has however the flapping/folding leaves
