A luxurious pair of Louis XV style antique bedside tables from the XX century, with a bombe front and three drawers, veneered in burr wood with a marble top and gilt bronze decorations, in good used condition with minor signs of age and stains.
Description from the seller
Sumptuous pair of bedside tables in the Louis XV style, a remarkable example of 20th-century artistic marquetry cabinetmaking, conceived to furnish the most exclusive bedrooms with timeless elegance. Hailing from a prestigious private collection housed in an ancient noble palace, these pieces are distinguished by the extraordinary quality of the inlay and the perfection of the flowing lines. The structure, characterized by the typical curved front with three drawers, is entirely clad in a precious burr veneer, whose natural grain creates evocative symmetric designs, enhanced by a glossy finish that accentuates the chromatic depth.
The visual impact is nobly enhanced by the presence of sumptuous shaped marbles crowning the upper surface, whose profiles faithfully follow the curvature of the furniture. The decorative gilt bronze and chased apparatus is of rare finesse: elegant scroll handles, applied friezes on the uprights, and refined terminal sabots confer on the pieces a regal luminosity, typical of great aristocratic commissions. The cabriole legs, slender and sinuous, lift the volumes with extraordinary grace, ensuring a light silhouette despite the richness of the materials. This pair represents not only a functional complement but aesthetic value and investment of great worth, capable of transforming the sleeping area into a space of pure representation and historical luxury.
