ABOUT PRODUCTID 5370
This pair of French bedside tables from around 1920 exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of the early 20th century, drawing inspiration from the Louis XV revival style. Constructed from walnut wood in a warm, medium brown tone with a subtle reddish cast, the surfaces are adorned with herringbone-patterned veneer that adds depth and visual interest. The tops are fashioned from polished marble in light beige and peach hues, each piece characterized by natural veining and a gently glossy finish. The overall surface features a satin sheen, avoiding excessive gloss. Gilt bronze (ormolu) mounts accentuate the corners, legs, and drawer fronts, emphasizing the bombe silhouette and the slender, cabriole legs with ornate bronze sabots at the feet. Each table contains two drawers with intricately decorated rococo handles and escutcheons. The joinery is seamless, with precisely matched marquetry and invisible joints. The overall condition is excellent, with no visible signs of damage, restoration, or significant wear. These bedside tables evoke the voice of the French belle époque: their form tells of bedrooms where the natural sheen of marble would catch the gentle light of candles. The undulating, bombe forms and bronze ornaments recall the atmosphere of 18th-century interiors, reimagined through the modern sensibility of the early 20th century. The tables carry a restrained elegance, as if whispering stories of quiet evenings spent reading letters or sharing intimate conversations by the bedside. This pair could be placed alongside an upholstered bed with a soft headboard, velvet cushions, and a discreet lamp with an opal glass shade to maintain a French-inspired arrangement. The tables would harmonize with classic rugs in pastel tones and decorative gilded mirrors. They
