Very rare and elegant pair of bedside cabinets or nightstands with backrests, marble tops and inlays – Ducrot manufacture, late 19th–early 20th century
​Lot description:
​A splendid and perfectly matched pair of period bedside cabinets or nightstands, made between the late 19th and early 20th centuries by the renowned Ducrot manufactory.
​A set of the highest quality and with great visual impact, testifying to the excellence of Italian cabinetmaking of the period. The furniture features a refined serpentine shape (both at the front and on the sides), showcasing masterful craftsmanship in the working of the wood, enhanced by luxurious details and a design with a distinctly classical character.
​Main features:
​Manufacture: An authentic piece produced in the Ducrot workshops, an essential benchmark for Italian art furniture and design between the 19th and 20th centuries.
​Backrests and Tops: Each bedside cabinet is topped by a substantial backrest with a shaped cresting and delicate geometric and floral inlays. The top features a fine veined black marble insert, expertly shaped to follow the contours of the wood.
​Inlays and Decoration: The fall-front and lower door feature striking inlays in mixed woods and burl, with the characteristic central motif of a classical urn surrounded by floral garlands.
​Hardware and Structure: Each has an under-top drawer with a finely chased ring pull and a lower door with original period hardware; unfortunately, the labels are no longer visible after all these years. They stand on elegant saber legs with a serpentine profile, embellished with chased bronze foliate mounts at the feet.
​Ideal for luxury interior design:
Given their extraordinary formal elegance, refined inlays and sophisticated lines, these bedside cabinets are ideally suited to enhancing not only prestigious private residences, but also high-end interior design projects, charming boutique hotels, suites in historic hotels or representative residences, immediately lending them an atmosphere of warm, timeless authority.
