Newish "nesting tables" ,probably from Target or Walmart.

 

Thank you , my nanna hadn’t bought furniture for about 50 years , but seems she’d been out or online when we didn’t know thank you again

 

If you remember them being in your Nanna's house (like back when you were a child) they might be a bit older than "newish." I was thinking 1970's or 80's, maybe.

BTW, I don't think of this size as "miniature." 43cm should be about 17inches tall for the shortest one, right?

 

I was born in 79 and I have always seen them whilst visiting
Ok , thanks for the advise on miniature, perhaps they just seem small to me as I’m tall
Thank you for your reply

 

43cm is the tallest one

 

Ah. I see now. "tiny largest" must have confused my brain. So how tall is the shortest one?

 

The shortest is 37 cm’s

 

Where are you?

 

The uk

 

Well, people were shorter, so furniture was as well. And with small living spaces, occasional tables this size probably came in very handy. If you're selling, just give actual dimensions rather than descriptive terms that might be misinterpreted and the right person will find them.

 

Thank you very much , your help has been and always is AMAZING

 

Always glad to help!

 

Have a really good look for any scribbles or markings. 1970s, they might be G Plan, Lexterten or even MFI.

 

Thank you very much , it has no markings as that’s the first thing I look for ! She has a beautiful gplan set which are beautiful, the make of it and the shape are fascinating

 

Oh, G Plan is really well made. It was higher end mass market.
