About

This elegant pair of antique French painted nightstands, dating to circa 1920, reflects the refined neoclassical vocabulary associated with the Louis XVI Revival. Built in oak and beech wood, each cabinet is formed as a small two-drawer commode, with a softly shaped case raised on slender, straight legs and finished with a gently contoured apron that introduces subtle movement while maintaining classical restraint. The surfaces retain a beautifully layered painted finish in pale cream tones with delicate gray-blue accents and hand-painted faux panel detailing. Areas of gentle wear and softened edges reveal underlying tones, creating depth, texture, and an authentic antique patina. Decorative brass pulls accent each drawer, adding warmth and contrast against the light-painted surfaces. The shaped tops follow the contours of the case, while the interiors retain their original wood construction. Compact yet functional, each chest offers practical storage and decorative presence, making the pair well suited for use as bedside tables, end tables, or occasional furniture in traditional, French country, or transitional interiors. The chests are in excellent condition commensurate with age and use. Dimensions: 39.5″W x 17.75″D x 34″H (each)
