This quartetto of Georgian style occasional tables dates from 1900, comprising four nestable mahogany and satinwood pieces with a warm brown colour. Each table possesses a rectangular crossbanded top featuring a central oval flame mahogany panel framed with ebony, raised ebony beading, and ebonized fore-edges. The slender spider legs show faux bamboo turnings, supported at the rear by a curved stretcher and terminating in splayed trestle feet with ebony inlay on the front. The largest table measures 70 cm high, 50 cm wide, and 35 cm deep, allowing the smaller tables to nestle neatly within one another when not in use. These versatile tables suit placement at the end of a sofa or beside an armchair in a sitting room to hold lamps, drinks, or books while providing space-saving flexibility for daily living.

FAQs

Quartetto tables are a specific set of four nesting tables designed to slide neatly beneath one another on slender wooden runners. Developed during the late eighteenth century and popularised by cabinetmakers like Thomas Sheraton, they were created to provide flexible entertainment surfaces in drawing rooms without cluttering floor space.

Authentic Georgian and Regency period pieces were primarily crafted from fine hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or satinwood. Construction features often included thin veneer borders, boxwood or ebony stringing, and delicate turned supports designed for strength despite their lightweight appearance.

Look for graduation in dimensions that allow exact sliding, hand-cut dovetail joints on the table aprons, and thin wooden grooves along the underside of the frames. Genuine period examples often feature ring-turned or faux-bamboo legs connected by subtle rear stretchers for structural rigidity.

Position the complete stack beside an armchair or sofa end to function as a compact side table. During social gatherings, unstack the individual tables to create multiple surfaces for drinks and books across seating areas.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth, wiping along the natural grain. Apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually to protect the French polish or varnish finish, and keep the tables away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber movement or bleaching.
