This walnut nest of three tables from 1920 is designed in the Queen Anne Revival style. The set consists of three graduated tables in a warm brown timber finish, each fitted with a glass inset top and standing on cabriole legs. Visible details include carved acanthus knees, claw feet, and shell carvings on the frieze. These tables measure 59 cm high, 62 cm wide, and 41 cm deep. In a modern home, this practical set provides versatile surfaces suitable for placement at the end of a sofa or beside armchairs for drinks and books. The nesting design allows the smaller tables to tuck neatly underneath the largest one when floor space is needed. They suit traditional living rooms, studies, or sitting areas, offering both decorative character and daily utility as occasional tables.

FAQs

Originating in the late eighteenth century and widely attributed to designer Thomas Sheraton, a nest of tables comprises a set of graduating tables that slide beneath one another. They were designed as space-saving occasional tables for drawing rooms and tea service.

Traditional nests of tables were constructed using fine hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, and rosewood. Veneers like burr walnut were frequently applied to table surfaces, often accompanied by protective glass tops in later revival periods.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved details on the frieze and legs, natural wear patterns along the slide rails, solid wood drawer or frame construction, and subtle variations in hand-cut joinery rather than modern uniform factory cuts.

A nest of tables functions well when placed alongside a sofa or armchair, serving as layered side tables. The individual tables can be drawn out partially to create a stepped display for books, lamps, or decorative accents.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth following the wood grain. Protect the timber surface from direct heat and sunlight, and apply high-quality bees wax periodically to preserve the natural lustre and protect the finish.
