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.

A quartetto set consists of four graduating nesting tables designed to fit neatly underneath one another when not in use, originating in the late eighteenth century and remaining popular throughout the Regency and Edwardian eras.

Edwardian nesting tables were predominantly crafted from high-quality hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or satinwood, often featuring fine boxwood stringing, satinwood crossbanding, and slender turned legs.

Authentic Edwardian sets feature hand-cut joinery, thin light woods for delicate proportions, slender spindle or bamboo-turned legs, natural timber patination on the underside, and precise fitting mechanisms for smooth stacking.

A nest of tables can be arranged in a stepped cascade beside a sofa to display decorative accents, or distributed individually around a room when entertaining guests to provide flexible surfaces.

Clean the timber surfaces with a soft dry lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, ensuring the tables are kept away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage or warping.
