{"product_id":"art-nouveau-nesting-tables-set-four-c1900","title":"Set of Four Art Nouveau Nesting Tables (c. 1900)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA sophisticated and beautifully preserved set of four graduated nesting tables — known in French as \u003cem\u003etables gigognes\u003c\/em\u003e — dating from the early 20th century. These tables occupy a fascinating transitional moment in the history of decorative arts, their forms and ornament reflecting the gentle shift from the lingering influence of the Louis XVI Revival toward the sinuous, nature-inspired vocabulary of the emerging Art Nouveau movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach table is a miniature exercise in refined craftsmanship: slender, tapering legs, delicately turned stretchers, and tops whose figuring, inlay, or carved detail varies subtly across the set. Presented as a graduated quartet, they nest elegantly beneath one another when not in use — a supremely practical and enduringly charming solution to the eternal problem of occasional surfaces in a well-furnished room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresented in excellent antique condition, this set is equally at home in a traditionally furnished drawing room or as a striking eclectic accent in a more contemporary interior. Sets of four in this quality are increasingly rare.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique Works","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58169962103165,"sku":null,"price":347.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/6989\/9133\/files\/SetofFourArtNouveauNestingTables_c.1900.heic?v=1778780523","url":"https:\/\/antiqueworksireland.ie\/products\/art-nouveau-nesting-tables-set-four-c1900","provider":"Antique Works Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
