Pair of Italian Neapolitan Nightstands in Walnut and Plum Wood Inlay, 19th Cent
-
Description
This refined pair of 19th-century Italian nightstands hails from Naples and showcases the rich artistry of southern Italian cabinetmaking. Expertly veneered in warm walnut and adorned with intricate inlays in rare plum wood, each piece features a gracefully bowed front and three drawers, offering both visual interest and practical storage. The inlay work on the drawer fronts is delicately composed in a geometric pattern, framed with fine stringing that contrasts beautifully against the walnut grain. Original round bronze knobs add a restrained yet elegant touch, enhancing the overall harmony of the design.
The proportions are slender and sophisticated, with subtly tapering legs that lend a light, architectural stance. These nightstands are not only beautiful bedside companions but also work well as end tables or accent pieces in refined living spaces. Their Neapolitan origin is evident in the meticulous craftsmanship and decorative flair, making them an ideal addition to interiors that value warmth, quality, and historical authenticity. -
