How to stop a table from being deleted when setting a range?

Let's say that cells A1 and B1 contain some values and cells A2 and B2 are empty, but a table is inserted in them.

If we run this code:

Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A2:B2").Value = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:B1").Value

the table in cells A2 and B2 disappears.

How should this code look like if I want to keep the table?
