Late 19th Century English Mahogany Nest of Tables

About the Item

This late 19th-century English nest of tables set consists of three elegantly crafted tables in graduating sizes, designed to nest gracefully within one another without the legs touching. Made from luxurious mahogany, a highly favored wood during the Victorian era for its rich color and durability, these tables exemplify the era's exquisite craftsmanship. The rectangular tops are supported by slender, turned, and reeded legs, ending in arched trestle or sleigh feet, and connected by rear stretchers for enhanced stability. In the evolution of furniture design, nesting tables represent a relatively modern innovation, their design attributed to British cabinetmaker Thomas Sheraton, as detailed in his 1803 publication, "The Cabinet Dictionary." These tables were coveted for their beauty and functionality, offering space-saving and multipurpose versatility. This particular set serves as an ideal piece for display purposes, tea services, or various everyday uses. Dimensions: Large table: H=27.75 in. W=19 in. D=13.25 in. Medium table: H=27 in. W=16.5 in. D=12.75 in. Small table: H=26.5 in. W=14.25 in. D=12.25 in.
