An Exceptional Antique Nest of Tables by Waring & Gillows
A Masterclass in Space-Saving Sophistication from an Iconic British Cabinetmaker
Introduce a legacy of unrivalled British craftsmanship to your home with this magnificent antique Nest of Trio Tables, bearing the hallmarks of the world-renowned firm Waring & Gillows. Dating from the early 20th century, this trio beautifully represents the timeless elegance, engineering precision, and top-tier timber selection that made the firm the decorator of choice for royalty, luxury liners, and grand estates alike.

Key Design & Structural Features
The Thumb-Moluded Tops: Each graduating table features a beautifully figured, book-matched solid mahogany top bordered by a crisp, elegant thumb-molded edge.

The sides feature delicately shaped, serpentine-undercut aprons, a subtle nod to classical Georgian cabinetry that lends a light, architectural movement to the nest when stacked.

The Slender Turned Columns: Each table stands proudly upon four exceptionally slender, ring-turned column legs. The remarkable crispness and structural integrity of such delicate turning are definitive proof of Waring & Gillows’ legendary workshop quality.

The Trestle Base: The legs terminate in elegantly scrolled, trestle-style block feet, connected by thin rear stretchers. This ensures the tables can slide seamlessly and securely into one another without any friction.

Its classic silhouette makes it a perfect transitional piece for both ultra-modern and traditional country house aesthetics.
