Richard Nissen

comprising two pairs of two interlocking tables

All four tables in overall very good condition consistent with age. Each table presents with faint minor surface scratches, nicks and scattered minor abrasions, consistent with gentle use. One table has a slightly darker stain and more pronounced scuffs and scratches to the table top as well as a ¼ in. surface chip to the outer edge, though not visually distracting. One table with a minor area of wood infill (1/2 in.) to the interior edge. Overall a versatile and modular set of tables which work as individual side tables, as stacking tables or as a pair of cubed tables.

Richard Nissen's wood workshop created many of Jens Quistgaard's most celebrated designs, including the Rare Woods Collection.  Whilst Nissen and Quistgaard have become inextricably linked through their long association, the present lot was designed by Nissen himself.

Sotheby's would like to thank Richard Nissen for his assistance with the cataloguing of this lot.
