An elegant late 20th century large rectangular coffee table by Brights of Nettlebed, a respected family firm renowned for fine English furniture since 1866. This substantial piece combines classic English design with excellent modern cabinetmaking.Executed in richly toned walnut with refined inlay throughout, the table offers a superb, finely finished top surface. The frieze incorporates two practical, smoothly running drawers and two pull-out slides, providing useful extra surface and discreet storage. The table stands on reeded, tapered legs, finished with brass sabots to the feet and fitted with brass accent handles, which lend a crisp, tailored look and underline the quality of the construction. This model remains in production today and can be ordered new from Brights of Nettlebed at a current price of £4,415, underlining both the quality and continuing desirability of the design. color, elegant grain and excellent durability. It brings immediate warmth and a sense of understated luxury to both traditional and contemporary interiors.Although this is not the type of piece I usually offer, I was particularly struck by the standard of craftsmanship, the sharpness of the inlay and its strong decorative presence. I acquired this coffee table from a large private estate in Surrey, together with a shorter console table, a long console table, a chest of drawers and a pair of side tables, all in the same walnut with matching inlay and the same high level of workmanship. This is a versatile, timeless coffee table, ideal for a living room, dining room or study. Elegant yet practical, it is designed to be both used and admired, and to give pleasure for many years to come.
