With their combination of clear glass and gold-tone brass, these nesting tables create a refined contemporary presence. Their varying heights allow the set to be arranged as needed, while providing discreet support beside a sofa or in a living room. The glass tops keep the arrangement feeling light and airy, while the gold-tone brass frames add a precious, luminous touch. They are perfect for displaying a lamp, a few books or a delicate vase to create an elegant reading nook. Tucked under a window, they can also hold a stack of magazines and a bouquet of fresh flowers. Like all vintage furniture, they bear the marks of their history: a few traces of time.

A brief history of nesting tables
Invented in the late 18th century by English cabinetmaker Thomas Sheraton, nesting tables are a set of tables in decreasing sizes that fit one inside the other. Popular during the Art Deco period for their geometric forms and later reimagined in the 1950s and 1960s with organic lines, they are the quintessential modular furniture. They are named for their resemblance to Russian nesting dolls, offering an ingenious space-saving solution for small spaces. Versatile, they can serve as coffee tables, bedside tables or occasional stands depending on your needs at the time.
