Italian Louis XVI Walnut Side Table with Gallery Top, Tuscany, 18th Century
-
Description
A refined Italian Louis XVI side table from 18th-century Tuscany, crafted in solid walnut and imbued with quiet elegance and architectural balance. The design reflects the neoclassical principles of the Louis XVI style, clarity of form, restrained ornamentation, and symmetry, interpreted through the warm, earthy lens of Tuscan craftsmanship.
The rectangular top features a raised gallery edge, practical and stylistically consistent with writing or side tables of the era. A single drawer with a brass drop ring pull is set neatly into the apron, its curved front adding softness and a subtle nod to the transitional design elements of the period.
Raised on finely tapered legs, which end in turned feet, the table exudes both lightness and structure. Its proportions are delicately balanced, elegant yet unfussy, stately but not severe. The walnut has developed a rich patina over time, with warm undertones and natural grain variation that bring the surface to life.
With its minimal ornamentation and precise construction, this table speaks to the enduring appeal of the Louis XVI aesthetic, reimagined here in a Tuscan vernacular that favors simplicity and natural beauty over opulence.
Ideal for use as a writing table, side table, or accent piece in both classical and contemporary interiors, this piece offers timeless character and quiet sophistication.
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! -
