This table has two small tables that slide into the bigger one. I guess if you have guests over you extend out the smaller tables for a fancy TV tray. No markings on bottom I can find. Would like to know any thing about it.

Nice leather top tables from the early 50s
They were called 'nesting' tables for the obvious reason and they were just so that you could have more tables for guests, for tea, not T.V. They were made of various woods and had many different styles to go with your furniture.
Thank you very much for your comments
I also have tables like these except the top one (larger) is square like the other two. Does anyone know what the value of these might be? Thanks
I have a leather-top table like this, but it's a side table with a pull-out drawer (not nesting). It belonged to my great aunt.
Lovely set of nesting tables. Love them!
