AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of Louis XVI style nightstands, made in the first half of the 20th century, with a solid wood construction and geometric marquetry decoration on the visible faces. Each piece presents an elegant and well-proportioned design, with a top drawer and a lower shelf, following the classic typology of French auxiliary furniture.
Marquetry, composed of fine veneers from different species of wood, forms diamond-shaped and linear motifs that evoke the Neoclassical taste for symmetry and decorative refinement. The legs, straight and fluted, are topped with gilded-brass appliqués in the shape of sabots, which protect the base and add a touch of distinction. The handles and hardware are also brass, in keeping with the overall ensemble.
These bedside tables faithfully reproduce the aesthetic codes of Louis XVI furniture: straight lines, restrained proportions, sober ornamentation, and quality materials. Although of 20th-century manufacture, their craftsmanship reveals artisanal care and attention to detail, which makes them versatile decorative pieces, suitable for both classic settings and eclectic interiors.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
