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.

Circa 1760 English George III Folding Handkerchief Tuckaway Corner Table
Located in Chicago, IL
This is an elegant hand-crafted mahogany George III multifunctionality corner table. During this time, corner tables became popular, due to their multi-functional and space-saving characteristics. They easily transform into a square multi-use: tea table, card table, reading table, tea table, etc. Completely utilitarian and space-optimizing, it could be placed in any room and provide many uses. It features an isosceles triangle top with a rear drop leaf. The drop leaf, supported by a gate leg, swings out to expand into a square surface. An oval-shaped brass escutcheon on the plain frieze hints at a compartment. Indeed, opening the lock allowed the top to lift and reveal storage space. It rests on four marlborough legs, another stylistic element of the era. One can use it in a living area and store board games in the storage compartment or use it as a desk or tea table and put it away in a corner when done. Regardless of how it is used or where it is located, it will be a timeless classic of Georgian history...
