FAQs

Originating in the late eighteenth century and attributed to furniture maker Thomas Sheraton, nests of tables were originally called quartetto tables when made in sets of four. Designed as space-saving furniture for drawing rooms, they provided readily accessible surfaces for tea, needlework, and games during social gatherings.

Traditional quartetto tables were primarily crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or satinwood. Construction featured slim turned or reeded legs connected by delicate stretchers, often with a subtle concave curve at the rear to accommodate the nesting process.

Authentic period pieces exhibit precise hand-cut joinery, subtle variations in wood grain across each graduated piece, and natural wear along the underside runners where the tables slide together. Later reproductions often feature uniform machine cuts and synthetic surface finishes.

A nest of tables works exceptionally well placed alongside a armchair or sofa, offering modular flexibility. The individual tables can be distributed throughout a room when entertaining to hold drinks or books, then nested neatly together to maintain an uncluttered layout.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying a quality beeswax polish periodically along the wood grain. Keep the tables away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber warping and finish discolouration.
