About the Item
An Heirloom of Australian Design: The Norman Archibald 'Nore' Table
At Fox
Wedge Vintage, we believe some pieces tell a story. This 'Nore' dining table, designed by Norman Archibald for Nore Furniture, is a testament to an era of exceptional Australian design. Its celebrated form has graced both the National Gallery of Victoria and the prestigious 1980 Cologne International Furniture Fair, cementing its place as a true national icon.
Handcrafted in Melbourne from solid Victorian Alpine Ash, the table is a masterful study in materiality. The expansive surface is not merely functional; it is a canvas displaying the timber's honest, intricate grain and natural warmth. Its clean lines and robust construction reflect a design philosophy built to endure, bringing a sense of grounded elegance to any interior.
This is a rare one-owner piece, acquired in 1978 and cherished as th e heart of a home for over forty years. Its excellent vintage condition speaks volumes of the love and care it has received, preserving its integrity and soul for the next generation. More than just a dining table, this is a functional piece of Australian art — an heirloom in the making, ready to anchor your home with its quiet confidence and distinguished history.
