19th c. Nightstand

France, 19th Century

$995

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Rare

Found in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, this 19th-century French nightstand is a table de nuit in the Louis XV taste, all curves where it could have been all corners, the cabriole legs and scalloped apron lifting a small bedside cabinet into something graceful. The Louis XV style came out of the 18th-century French court, when furniture softened into curves and movement, and country cabinetmakers loved it so much they kept building it for a hundred years after. Behind the two doors is a small cupboard for the things you want close but out of sight, the wood top above it ready for a lamp and a glass of water. Sylvie uses it beside a bed with a few books.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

Dear collector, as with many antiques, this piece may show signs of its age, including subtle repairs, a bit of movement, cracks, scratches, small holes, and surface variation from years of use. This night stand has a unique feature of a twisting knob to lock and unlock the doors. There may be slight rust on hardware and hinges.
