This quartetto nest of four low side tables dates from the 1930s traditional period and is constructed from mahogany timber with quartered veneers, crossbanding, and a dark brown wax finish. The main table has an oval serpentine top featuring a moulded pie crust edge, sitting alongside three smaller tables of graduated size. All four pieces stand on slim turned spindle legs joined by curving arched stretchers and terminate in splayed feet. Measuring 58.5 cm high, 61 cm wide, and 43 cm deep, this compact ensemble functions well at the end of a sofa in an English country house interior. The surfaces display rich wood grain patterns and clean polished lines, providing practical tiers for everyday use in living spaces.

FAQs

Quartetto tables are a set of four graduated occasional tables designed to fit neatly beneath one another when not in use. Originating in the late eighteenth century and designed by Thomas Sheraton, they were engineered to save space while providing versatile surface areas for tea serving or drawing in period drawing rooms.

Pieces from the early twentieth century were predominantly constructed using solid hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, frequently featuring veneered tops with moulded edging. The frame supports typically feature slender turned spindles, stretcher rails, and arched sledge feet to facilitate smooth sliding.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-finished timber patination, minor wear on the inner rails where the tables slide together, and precise proportions. Look for traditional joinery underneath the tops, weight consistent with solid timber, and aged lacquer finishes.

Nest of tables function well positioned at the end of a sofa or alongside an armchair, offering compact versatility. They can be displayed stacked as a single unit with a small table lamp or pulled out in a tiered arrangement to accommodate entertaining.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year. Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage, joint loosening, or colour bleaching.
