This Edwardian antique quartetto comprises four occasional nesting tables made of mahogany in a rich caramel hue. The tables feature fine grain interest, boxwood and ebony marquetry accentuating the top of each piece, bamboo-turned legs, shaped aprons, and arched trestle feet with a serpentine carved appearance. The set measures 67 cm high, 48 cm wide, and 33 cm deep. These versatile tables nest together compactly or cascade across a room when separated. They are well suited for placement at the end of a sofa or beside a seating area to provide convenient surface space for drinks, books, or lamps in a living room or study.

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.
