What is an Edwardian style nest table?

An Edwardian style nest table is a set of graduated tables designed to stack inside one another to save floor space. Individual tables pull out when needed for serving drinks, holding lamps, or placing books.

How many tables are in a nest?

Most nests contain either three or four individual tables that descend in height and width. The smallest piece slides completely beneath the next largest until the entire group forms a single compact unit.

What woods were used for these tables?

Mahogany serves as the primary timber for the majority of these pieces, often paired with contrasting satinwood or walnut. Craftsmen frequently added boxwood inlay and delicate crossbanding to enhance the surface appearance.

How do you style a nest of tables?

A nest can remain stacked against a wall or beside a sofa to serve as a compact lamp table. Alternatively, separate the tables around a room when hosting guests to provide multiple accessible surfaces.
