19th Century Mahogany Quartetto Nest of Four Coffee Tables

19th century
Description

A Very Good Quality Mid 19th Century Mahogany Quartetto Nest Of Four Rectangular Coffee Tables, Having Well Figured Tops With Crossbanded & Strung Decoration, Raised On Elegant Turned Upright Supports, United By Cross Stretchers. Terminating On Elegant Sabre Feet.

Dating towards the end of the 19th century, but in the Georgian style as is common for this period these tables are very good quality and extremely useful indeed.

The top of each table is constructed from well figured, rich mahogany timber with elegant cross banded decoration. The combination of these features creates a good contrast and an elegant look in combination with the boxwood stringing.

The tables are in good, solid, functional condition, with very little restoration or existing damage to speak of. It is worth noting that we have had many similar nests of this period and it’s not that often that they are found without rudimentary repairs to smashed legs, or with tops that have faded to totally different colour, split, or just generally look different. Its therefore clear that this particular nest has been well loved, cherished and used throughout its life.

As with all items which we offer for sale they have been attended to in our workshops by our highly skilled antique furniture restorers who have tightened the joints, cleaned and naturally waxed them to ensure they are presented in retail condition and ready to be placed straight into use.

Perfect for a whole variety of spaces around the home they will add a touch of elegance, class and function to absolutely any room around the home.

Circa 1860.

Height 28in.

Width 21.5in.

Depth 13.75in.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Quartetto tables are a set of four graduating nesting tables designed during the late 18th and 19th centuries to slide neatly beneath one another to save floor space.

These sets were typically crafted from fine hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or satinwood, featuring thin turned legs, trestle bases, and stretchers for structural stability.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut joinery, thin top timber veneers, slender hand-turned legs, natural wood shrinkage on the undersides, and consistent age-related patination.

A quartetto nest can be kept stacked as a single compact side table beside an armchair or staggered across a living area to provide flexible surface space when entertaining.

Dust regularly with a dry soft cloth, avoid placement near direct heat sources or damp environments, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically to protect the timber finish.
