Lane Chinese Chippendale Style Mahogany Nesting Tables

Item Details

This set of three nesting tables by Lane Furniture of Altavista, Virginia, exemplifies the Chippendale Revival style popular in the late 20th century. The tables feature mahogany tops with fine cross-banded inlays and molded edges, supported by elegant fluted legs. A distinctive Chinese Chippendale influence is visible in the pierced fretwork brackets at the joints and the X-form stretchers on the smaller units. While functionally versatile for modern living spaces, the set retains a formal aesthetic through its rich mahogany finish and classical proportions. Branded with the manufacturer’s mark and style numbers on the underside, this set remains a recognizable example of high-quality American production furniture from the interwar revival period.
