Italian Green-Lacquered Bedside Table in Fir Wood, Circa 1830
-
Description
Charming and authentic, this green-lacquered bedside table dates to around 1830 and originates from the Alpine regions of Northern Italy. Crafted from solid fir wood — a material prized in Alpine furniture for its durability and natural resilience — it exemplifies the simple elegance of rural craftsmanship from the early 19th century. The single drawer above a paneled cabinet door provides practical storage, while the aged green lacquer retains its original depth and warmth, softly worn from time and use. Its construction reflects the sturdy, honest joinery typical of the period, designed for daily function yet imbued with quiet character. The restrained lines and minimal ornamentation speak to a vernacular aesthetic rooted in both utility and charm. A versatile and timeless piece, ideal as a bedside table, side cabinet, or accent piece in a rustic or modern interior.
This is an antique and having been around for a long time, it will show signs of wear. Antique pieces have very much sought-after character and associated flaws. Please review photos for condition & contact us with questions! -
