Antique Embossed Leather Top Nest of 3 Tables

1900 - 1920
Description

A very interesting antique embossed leather top nest of tables, made in England & dating from around the 1910 period.

The leather tops depict Aztec or possibly Inca gods, they have exceptional details and are extremely well made. The frames are mahogany, with beautifully turned legs and serpentine shaped lower frieze edges.

The condition is excellent for their age, we have given them a clean and fresh wax polish.

I would date them to around the 1910-20’s period.

This Edwardian nest of three tables from 1910 displays rich warm brown mahogany frames with a clean wax polish finish. The set includes three graduated rectangular surfaces inset with embossed leather depicting Aztec or Inca figural motifs within geometric borders, supported by intricately turned legs linked with horizontal spindle stretchers and featuring serpentine shaped lower frieze edges. Measuring 60 cm high, 51 cm wide and 46 cm deep, the pieces demonstrate exceptional joinery and construction detail throughout the nested arrangement. Practical for everyday modern living, this traditional set suits placement at the end of a sofa or beside an armchair in a gentleman's library or living room to hold drinks, books or lamps when entertaining. The smaller tables slide smoothly underneath the largest table to save floor space when not in use.

FAQs

Originating in the late eighteenth century and accredited to furniture designer Thomas Sheraton, nesting tables were created to offer flexible seating and surface options within compact living spaces. These graduating sets of tables slide beneath one another for storage and can be spread across a room when entertaining guests.

Traditional nesting tables are constructed from solid dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak using mortise and tenon joinery. The top surfaces frequently feature inlaid hide leather that has been stamped, tooled, or embossed with decorative borders or central motifs, supported by slender turned legs and stretchers.

Authentic period pieces exhibit natural wear patterns, slight variations in timber grain, hand-cut joinery, and patination on both the wood finish and the leather surface. Genuine tooled leather tops display crisp impression lines from hand-stamping tools rather than modern uniform machine molding.

A nest of tables functions well placed at the end of a sofa or alongside an armchair, providing versatile surfaces for lamps and beverages. Designers often stagger the tables slightly rather than tucking them away completely, allowing the patterned tops and graduated timber heights to create visual interest.

Keep the set away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber warping and leather drying. Wipe the wood with a soft cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish periodically, while treating the embossed leather inset with specialized leather balm to preserve flexibility and color depth.
