Description from the seller
It is a 19th-century auxiliary side table, which, despite its nineteenth-century origin, today shows a renewed presence thanks to a recent intervention carried out with a retro taste. The structure preserves the classic elegance of the era: turned legs with soft lines, balanced proportions, and that functional yet distinguished air typical of home furniture from the 1800s. However, the new white layer of paint gives it a contemporary freshness, almost Mediterranean balcony-like, that brightens the piece and integrates it naturally into modern interiors.
The inner drawer, now lined with a retro design, introduces a charming contrast: a graphic, colorful wink that dialogues with the exterior’s classical sobriety. That detail turns the side table into a small decorative secret, a blend between antiquity and modernity that is revealed when opening the drawer. The elevated upper platform, supported by curved brackets, adds a very characteristic architectural touch of certain 19th‑century auxiliary furniture, designed for writing, displaying objects, or simply accompanying daily life.
Overall, it is a piece that combines history, sensitive restoration, and retro aesthetics, perfect for someone seeking furniture with soul, capable of adding character without sacrificing functionality.
Shipped with certificate and good packaging.
