$2,400

About

Elegant in scale and beautifully detailed, this pair of vintage French bedside tables combines graceful Louis XV styling with exceptional craftsmanship and practical storage. Crafted in France circa 1950, each cabinet is finely constructed of fruitwood and kingwood veneer arranged in striking chevron parquetry, further enriched with delicate floral marquetry inlaid across the drawer fronts and side panels.

Each bedside table is crowned with a removable molded marble top featuring warm cream, lavender, and taupe veining, creating an elegant contrast to the rich wood tones below. The bombe-form cases are fitted with three dovetailed drawers, each dressed with ornate Rococo-style cast bronze pulls, while finely chased gilt bronze corner mounts and sabot feet accentuate the elegant silhouette.

Raised on slender cabriole legs, the cabinets display refined proportions and excellent attention to detail from every angle. The floral marquetry continues onto the sides, making the pair equally attractive when viewed in the round. Their compact footprint makes them ideal as bedside tables or nightstands, while they also serve beautifully as end tables or accent chests in a living room, sitting room, or dressing area.

The antique-style pair is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, with smooth-working dovetailed drawers, crisp marquetry, and beautifully preserved gilt bronze mounts. The removable marble tops are in excellent condition and display attractive natural veining throughout.

Dimensions: 13.5” W x 11.5” D x 28.5” H
