This quarteto nest of tables follows a Regency style from the 1920 period. The set comprises four graduated rectangular tops made of warm brown mahogany, sitting on ebonised bases with slender turned spindle legs and bowed rear stretchers. The stands are supported by trestle sledge feet that rest on the floor, providing a sturdy framework for each table. Signs of age and wear remain minimal, preserving the integrity of the original surfaces and joints across all four pieces. In a modern interior, this nesting set functions well at the end of a sofa or beside an armchair for holding drinks, books, or lamps when expanded. The descending scale allows the smaller tables to slide neatly beneath the largest one to save floor space when not in use. Practical dimensions range from the largest table at 37 cm wide by 27 cm deep by 72 cm high down to the smallest table at 27 cm wide by 20 cm deep by 67 cm high.

FAQs

A quarteto set consists of four graduated nesting tables designed to fit neatly beneath one another when not in use. The concept became popular during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries to provide flexible surface space in formal reception rooms.

Traditional nesting tables were predominantly crafted from solid dense hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or satinwood. The frames often feature slender turned wood legs with bowed rear stretchers or trestle feet for structural stability.

Authentic period examples feature hand-turned spindles, cockbeaded table top edges, and natural patination on the timber. Look for slim side runners or tongue-and-groove channels underneath the table frames that allow the smaller tables to slide smoothly into place.

Place the nested stack beside a sofa or lounge chair to serve as a compact end table. When entertaining, separate the individual tables across the room to offer guests convenient surfaces for drinks and books.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth along the grain. Apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the mahogany surface and preserve its protective finish, avoiding placement near direct heat sources.
