This Regency nest of three occasional tables dates from the nineteenth century and is formed in a graduated quartetto style from dark brown mahogany and rosewood veneer. Each rectangular tabletop displays a figured grain pattern bordered by a fine dark stringing line and a moulded rim edge. The tables stand on slender ring-turned supports that terminate in shaped sledge feet, with curved stretchers providing architectural joinery. Measuring 58 cm high, 52 cm wide, and 35 cm deep, these compact tables slide beneath one another to save space when not in use. They function well at the end of a sofa or beside an armchair in a living room to hold drinks, books, or lamps.

FAQs

A Regency nest of tables is a set of graduating occasional tables designed to slide neatly underneath one another, popularized during the Regency period in the early 19th century for flexible entertaining.

Regency nesting tables were constructed using fine hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, frequently trimmed with figured wood veneers, cockbeaded edges, and slender turned or trestle legs.

Authentic period nesting tables typically show signs of hand-craftsmanship, including hand-cut joinery, thin timber profiles, authentic surface wear on the inner supports, and natural patina along the grain.

Nesting tables can be placed together beside a sofa or seating group to save floor space, or staggered slightly to create tiered surfaces for displaying books, lamps, and decorative objects.

Dust the timber surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply beeswax sparingly along the wood grain, keeping the furniture away from direct heat sources and high humidity.
