What is a quartetto nest of tables?

A quartetto nest consists of four graduated tables built to slide neatly into one another to save floor space. Cabinet makers designed these sets as versatile occasional furniture that could be separated when entertaining.

How are these tables usually arranged?

The tables are scaled so that each smaller piece fits precisely beneath the one immediately larger than it. When not in use, the entire set occupies the footprint of just the single largest table.

What woods were used for inlay?

Makers incorporated satinwood, boxwood, and various contrasting timbers to create delicate banding and geometric patterns. These decorative elements are typically set directly into mahogany or satinwood table tops.

How do I care for inlaid table tops?

Keep the timber away from direct sunlight and excessive heat sources to prevent the veneers and inlay work from drying out. Regular polishing with traditional beeswax maintains the lustre of the polished mahogany and satinwood surfaces.
