Set of Four Stackable Rotating Nesting Tables in Stained Acacia Wood

This ingenious set consists of four round-top mahogany tables, stacked and connected by an axis that allows them to fan out as needed. Each table rests on finely turned tapered legs, accented with rings and finished with brass tips; golden brass brackets reinforce and highlight the junction of the tops and legs. This pivoting fan system is a specialty of English cabinetry from the mid-20th century, which successfully combined the tradition of polished mahogany—derived from 18th-century England—with functional ingenuity suited to modern interiors. When folded, the four tables occupy only the footprint of a single side table; when deployed, they provide four serving surfaces. Condition report: Good overall condition. Mahogany with a beautiful deep finish showing slight signs of use, soft patina on the brass. Rotating mechanism functional. A set that is both practical and decorative, ideal as an end table or for serving tea.
