Nightstand (2) - Wood, Marble, Bronze

A sumptuous pair of Louis XV-style nightstands, a splendid example of 20th-century artistic cabinetmaking, designed to furnish the most exclusive bedrooms with timeless elegance.

Hailing from a prestigious private collection housed in an ancient noble palace, these pieces stand out for the extraordinary quality of the inlay and the perfection of the sinuous lines.

The structure, featuring the typical bombé front with three drawers, is entirely clad in valuable burl veneer, whose natural grain forms suggestive symmetrical patterns, heightened by a glossy finish that enhances its tonal depth.

The visual impact is elevated by the presence of sumptuous marbles shaped to crown the upper surface, whose profiles faithfully follow the furniture’s curves.

The decorative apparatus in gilt bronze and chased work is of rare fineness: elegant volute escutcheons, friezes applied to the uprights, and refined terminal sabot feet give the pieces a regal luminosity, typical of the great aristocratic commissions.

Cabriole legs, elongated and sinuous, raise the volumes with extreme grace, ensuring a light silhouette despite the richness of the materials.

This pair represents not merely a functional accessory, but aesthetic investment of great value, capable of transforming the sleeping area into an environment of pure prestige and historic luxury.
