Burton Side Tables with Removable Tray Tops – Set of Two in Antique Gold

Burton Side Tables – an elegant set with removable tray tops

The Burton side tables are a refined set of two occasional tables combining decorative character with practical versatility. Their slender metal frames are finished in a warm antique gold tone and topped with removable decorative surfaces that can also be used as trays.

The set includes two tables in different sizes. The larger model stands 69 cm high, while the smaller table measures 56 cm high. Their graduated proportions allow them to be displayed together, positioned separately around the room or partially nested to reduce the amount of floor space they occupy.

The antique gold finish gives the tables a warm and sophisticated appearance, while the decorative tray tops introduce pattern, texture and visual interest. Burton is particularly well suited to interiors where practical furniture is expected to contribute to the overall design of the room.

Set of two side tables for a living room

A set of two side tables offers greater flexibility than a single occasional table. The Burton tables can be positioned at either end of a sofa, placed beside separate armchairs or arranged together as a layered composition.

The larger table is suitable for a table lamp, vase, book, drink or decorative accessory. The smaller design can provide an additional surface beside an armchair or be used in a bedroom, entrance hall or private study.

When displayed together, the different heights create a more dynamic arrangement. The smaller table can also be partially placed beneath the larger one when an additional surface is not required.

Side tables with removable tray tops

The most distinctive feature of the Burton tables is their removable tray tops. Each decorative top can be lifted from its metal frame and used as a tray for carrying drinks, glassware, light refreshments or small accessories.

This practical design is particularly useful when entertaining. Rather than moving each item individually, the tray top can be removed, carried to another part of the room and then returned to its base.

Items should be positioned securely before the tray is lifted, and their combined weight should remain appropriate for the size of the surface. Food should be placed on the trays only in suitable plates, bowls or serving dishes.

Decorative tops with refined detailing

The decorative tops give the Burton tables a more distinctive appearance than plain occasional furniture. Their patterned surfaces provide an elegant setting for glassware, candles, books, vases and small sculptures.

The tops are made from a combination of MDF and glass, creating a smooth decorative surface. Their raised edges emphasise the tray form and help visually contain the objects arranged upon them.

For a balanced display, avoid covering the entire surface. A vase, candle and one carefully selected accessory will highlight the design without concealing the decorative pattern.

Antique gold metal frames

The slender frames are made from metal and finished in an antique gold tone. This warm, softly aged colour is more understated than highly polished yellow gold and works beautifully in elegant interiors.

The simple structure balances the decorative character of the tray tops and keeps the tables looking visually light. They can therefore be positioned close to a sofa or armchair without making the room feel crowded.

Antique gold complements marble, mirrored glass, pale and dark timber, as well as upholstery in cream, beige, taupe, navy, green and charcoal.

Side tables for a living room, bedroom or entrance hall

In a living room, the Burton tables can be placed beside a sofa, armchair or chaise longue. They provide a convenient surface for lighting, drinks, books, remote controls and decorative objects while maintaining a polished appearance.

In a bedroom, the smaller table can be used as a light occasional table beside the bed or an upholstered chair. The taller model can complement a dressing area or reading corner.

Within a spacious entrance hall, the tables may be positioned near a console, bench or statement chair. Their removable trays can help organise keys, candles or other small accessories.

Which interiors suit the Burton side tables?

The Burton side tables complement glamorous, Art Deco, modern classic, New York-inspired, eclectic and contemporary interiors. Their combination of antique gold frames and decorative tops introduces a refined metallic accent without making the scheme feel overly ornate.

In a glamorous living room, pair them with velvet upholstery, mirrored furniture and statement lighting. In a modern classic interior, they work beautifully alongside pale fabrics, architectural mouldings and brass-toned accessories.

Within a contemporary room, the Burton tables can soften simple matt surfaces and introduce subtle pattern and reflection. Their slender construction also coordinates well with stone, glass and minimalist furniture.

How to style the Burton nesting side tables

Position the tables together beside a sofa to create a layered arrangement. A lamp or vase can be placed on the taller table, while the smaller surface can hold a candle, book or decorative box.

In a more compact room, the tables can remain partially nested. The smaller table can then be pulled forward whenever an additional surface is required for guests.

The tables may also be used independently. One can remain in the living room, while the other is placed in a bedroom, study or entrance hall, creating continuity between different areas of the home.

How to care for the Burton side tables

Clean the glass surfaces with a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth. Apply glass cleaner to the cloth rather than spraying it directly onto the top, helping to prevent moisture from collecting around the edges.

Wipe the metal frames with a soft, dry or very slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive products, harsh detergents, bleach or rough sponges.

Avoid strong metal polishes, as these may alter the intended aged appearance of the antique gold finish.

Lift decorative objects rather than dragging them across the glass. Soft protective pads beneath vases, candles, cups and hard accessories can help reduce the risk of scratching.

When removing a tray top, hold it securely with both hands. Before placing it back onto the frame, ensure that it is positioned evenly and correctly supported.
