This lot comprises a nest of three mid-century modern style rectangular occasional tables, a metal deed box, and a heavy carved wooden vessel. The nesting tables feature tops with a rich, straight-grained wood veneer, consistent with mahogany or sapele, finished with gold-toned metal edge banding and decorative circular corner studs. Each table is supported by four black-painted tapered metal legs terminating in brass-finished ferrule feet. The rectangular metal deed or cash box features a grey-brown textured finish, a hinged lid, and a metal pull handle on one end; it contains a single large metal binder clip. The wooden vessel is carved from mahogany with a square base transitioning to a circular rim and features a small recessed insignia on one side used for storing pens and pencils.
