Nightstand (2) - Rosewood

Pair of bedside tables in Louis XV style with marble top and marquetry in bois de rose and fruitwood.

These bedside tables represent the elegant tradition of French furniture from the 18th century, characterized by sinuous lines, refined marquetry, and marble tops. The Louis XV style, also known as Rococo, is distinguished by bombé shapes and elaborate decorations that reflect the taste for elegance and luxury of the era. The inlays in bois de rose (rosewood) and fruitwood were particularly valued for their warm and contrasting tones, creating sophisticated decorative effects typical of 18th-century French cabinetry.

These pieces are especially sought after by antique furniture collectors and enthusiasts of classical interior design who wish to recreate authentic historic settings. The Italian and European market shows strong interest in Louis XV-style furniture, particularly when sold in pairs, as they represent an investment both aesthetically and historically. The presence of inlays in precious woods such as bois de rose and fruitwood, together with the original marble tops, significantly increases their value among antique dealers, interior decorators, and collectors of French furniture.
