Hvidt Table Repair  

.
"There are some things that are just not possible, no matter how good the craftsperson"
No, everything is possible.
In this special case there are two options, either you repair only the damaged spot but afterwards it will always be visible that the spot has been repaired ... or you re-veneer the whole surface, then it will be perfect.
Advice: give a new veneer to the table, it's the worth.

Were there solid teak and...
Were there solid teak and teak veneer versions of this table made? The other specimens I recall seeing and just looked at have solid teak tops. For example:

Me too I was wondering about it, all these Hvidt models I've had were solid.

In fact I have an Excellent...
In fact I have an Excellent Furniture Company/Aasbjerg catalog with this table and it is listed as solid teak, so if this one in question is veneer, then there either was a veneer version that EFC didn't sell, or there is something "off" with this table.
I am sure someone more knowledgeable in the works of France and Søn can fill us in.
Onno: not on topic, but did you find anything out about Excellent Furniture Company and Johannes Aasbjerg on your recent visit to denmark?

Here is the page I am...
Here is the page I am thinking of. The price list specifies solid teak as well, in case the stamp isn't persuasive enough. And the model number (20) has that slash followed by 59, so I suppose it might be possible to speculate that perhaps there are other versions 20/xx that are not solid teak. Bt that really is speculation...

If you can find a really good
repair person who is an expert at grain painting, you can get it fixed. I've seen before and afters of grain painting in person where I have to look really hard to see the repair, and I'm the myopic type who tends to zero in on little flaws and fret about them.
I don't have any idea what you'd have to pay for a repair like that but I imagine it wouldn't be cheap.

Mea culpa!
Sorry Leif meanwhile I've been there twice but I didn't spare a thought about it.
Next time!

That table doesn't look right.
I have only ever seen this design in solid teak.
Also look at the edge of the surface, it looks wrong, too thick and without the graceful sculpted curve. Perhaps it is just the angle of the photo but I'd like to see larger images.
I will try to find an image of the table surface in profile.

The more I think about this...
The more I think about this table the more trouble I am having with the idea that it is veneer.
For instance I can't think of any other Hvidt & Mølgaard-Nielsen designs that are executed in veneer. The closest I can get are the Ax designs that are bent ply, but no case good or table that has a veneered surface. I just looked through Google Images (not scientific, I know), and I can't point out one single veneer Hvidt & Mølgaard design.
I originally asked this question because I was thinking the table is probably solid, which is a lot easier to fix.
But now I am really wondering if there is something "off" about this table. This is a special enough table that if the original solid teak top got destroyed, I could possibly imagine someone commissioning a new top in veneer.
Does it have have the France and Søn medallion? And does it have the France and Søn stamp? It would expect it to have both. And can we see photos of them? There are a couple of minor details I'd like to see.
Also to the original question of fixability, a good photo of the problem area would be very helpful.

Proportions and lines are okay, even the France and Søn medallion seems to exist.

Thanks for your input
I've attached a pic here of the medallion. I've also attached a pic of the top of the table. I haven't bought it yet, so I only have access to the photos that the seller posted on CL. Is it possible that the damage was done to the solid teak top and someone then tried to repair it with veneer?
If I buy it, I'll post better pics.

I asked the seller
and he just emailed me back to say that the table is solid teak.

Well then everything is how...
Well then everything is how it is supposed to be.
I am not sure what the damage would be that appears to be veneer chips, but with a solid teak table you have a lot of options for repairs.
I'd love the opportunity to buy a damaged one of these tables for a good price. Get it quick!

The surface really looks as if it has been veneered, strange.
