Description
A charming Louis XVI-style bedside table adorned with intricate geometric marquetry and a floral inlay decoration on the top. This exquisite piece showcases the elegance and craftsmanship of the Louis XVI era, combining artistry with functionality. The marquetry design features a rich interplay of contrasting wood tones, adding depth and visual interest, while the floral motif on the top introduces a touch of softness and refinement.
The table opens on the front with three drawers, each fitted with brass knobs, providing ample storage space. The top is surrounded on three sides by a raised wooden gallery, adding both a decorative element and practical function by preventing items from slipping off. The table rests on four square-section sheathed legs, gracefully tapering and ending in bronze sabots, lending the piece a light and elegant silhouette.
Finished with a beautiful wax patina, this bedside table exudes warmth and character, showcasing the rich grain and natural beauty of the wood. Its refined design and timeless aesthetic make it a versatile addition to both classic and contemporary interiors, serving as a functional yet decorative piece in any space. -
