19th c. Side Table

France, 19th Century

$895

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Wood

For a hundred years this table stood quietly at the edge of a room, holding a candle, a letter, whatever the day set down and meant to come back for. Found in Montpellier and dating to the 19th century, it carries a single drawer beneath a top worn to a soft, dark glow, and rises on slender cabriole legs that curve to the floor with a grace borrowed from far grander things. That curve, the cabriole, came down from the salons of the 18th century into the hands of a village maker, who gave even this small country table a little of the elegance of a château. Sylvie sets it beside a chair or a bed, a lamp and a book upon it, the drawer keeping close whatever one likes to have near at hand.

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. The tabletop shows noticeable staining, though the wood finish is otherwise in good condition. The drawer functions smoothly, and the marks from years of use are part of the character we love in an old piece.
