Item Description
This ingenious set is composed of four tables with round tops in varnished mahogany, superimposed and linked by an axis allowing them to be deployed in a fan as needed. Each table rests on finely turned tapered legs, punctuated by rings and ending in brass caps; gilt brass brackets reinforce and underline the junction of the tops and the legs. This fan-pivoting system is a speciality of mid-20th-century English cabinetmaking, which knew how to combine the tradition of varnished mahogany — inherited from the English 18th century — with functional ingenuity adapted to modern interiors. Folded, the four tables occupy only the footprint of a single pedestal table; deployed, they offer four service surfaces. Condition report: Good general condition. Mahogany with a fine deep varnish presenting slight marks of use, brass with a soft patina. Rotation mechanism functional. A set as practical as it is decorative, ideal at the end of a sofa or for serving tea.
