Description from the seller
Two Louis XVI-style end tables with drawers, made of wood and crafted with that balance characteristic of neoclassicism: clear proportions, symmetry, restrained ornamentation, and a sense of elegance that does not require excess. The wood, with a warm tone and pronounced grain, adds depth and presence, while the brass details—especially in the front embellishments and the pulls—introduce the right shine, that soft gold that defines the Louis XVI aesthetic reinterpreted in the mid-20th century.
Each end table features three drawers, decorated with rectangular frames and linear motifs that evoke the garlands and classical moldings of the style. Two of the pulls appear without rings, a detail that adds a slight functional asymmetry and betrays the hand of an antique workshop, where pieces were adjusted and replaced with practical criteria without breaking the overall harmony.
The set conveys that blend of domestic classicism and mid-century modernity, where French tradition adapts to contemporary interiors without losing its identity. They are solid, decorative, and versatile pieces, perfect for adding a historic accent with serenity and character.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
