Description
A stunning 19th-century Louis XVI-style bedside table crafted from walnut and cherrywood, accented with fine dark wood inlay. This exceptional piece exemplifies the elegance and precision characteristic of the Louis XVI style, with its harmonious proportions, clean lines, and understated decoration. The table features four functional drawers, each fitted with delicate brass knobs, offering both practical storage and a touch of refinement.
The top is adorned with an intricate marquetry star motif, meticulously crafted from contrasting wood tones and framed by fine inlaid fillets. This decorative detail elevates the piece, adding a layer of sophistication and artistic flair. The body of the table is beautifully constructed, showcasing the natural beauty of the walnut and cherrywood grain, enhanced by the patina developed over time.
Supported by slim, tapered legs, the table achieves a graceful silhouette, embodying the timeless elegance of Louis XVI design. The dark wood fillets provide subtle contrast, further emphasizing the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. This bedside table is not only a functional piece of furniture but also a statement of 19th-century French artistry and taste. -
