A mahogany Empire-style bedside table from France, dating to 1850–1900, in good used condition with minor signs of age and imperfections, measurements 67 cm wide, 65 cm high and 67 cm deep, featuring a round top, carved frieze and three cabriole legs.
Description from the seller
It is a mahogany Empire-style nightstand from the 19th century, clearly aligned with the Empire, where classical solidity and sober elegance combine with a very balanced sense of proportion. The round top, polished and with a warm tone, displays the deep grain of the mahogany, a wood highly prized in prestigious furniture of the era.
The carved frieze, with its fluting and small decorative motifs, introduces that neoclassical language characteristic of the Empire: order, symmetry, and a restrained yet present ornament. The central shaft, robust and with a monumental profile, recalls the classical columns reinterpreted by the period’s cabinetmakers, while the three curved legs, decorated with stylized vegetal motifs, provide stability and a sculptural air that reinforces its imperial identity.
Overall, it is an Empire mahogany nightstand, elegant, well proportioned, and with the distinguished presence that defines furniture from the first third of the 19th century. A piece that combines functionality and nobility, perfect for an interior that values history and craftsmanship.
Tracked shipping and careful packing.
