Many items were produced in China for the western market from early in the 19th century and beyond. These items are commonly referred to now as having been made for the Chinese Export market and the most prolifically found of these items tend to be coffee tables, opium tables, nests of tables and to a slightly lesser extent altar type side tables.

This nest of tables are a good quality example, relatively early in date which is the reason for the good quality of timber and construction and they retain a good rich colour.

They are of course extremely useful and functional allowing for a whole variety of different uses whether that be individually or as a group. The oriental hardwood which they are constructed from is also a particularly durable timber, meaning one does not need to worry too much about minor spillages or similar during day to day use.

As with all items we offer for sale these have been inspected by our highly skilled, specialist, traditional antique furniture restorers before being made available for sale, to ensure that they are in absolutely tip top condition.
