A modern two-tier brass mounted étagère by Mallett

These brass mounted tables are probably the most recognisable Mallett product, invented by Francis Egerton and based on Regency models.  They come in a variety of expressions, both entirely modern and incorporating antique elements.  When you visit a house and you see pairs of these at either end of a sofa you instantly know you are with a client of Mallett.
