French Bedside Table

France, 19th Century

$795

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Sylvie Favorite

Everything a bedside table held was small and easy to lose in the dark, which is why this one has three little drawers and a rail around the top to keep things from sliding off. Found in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon and dating to the 19th century, this table de chevet rises on slender cabriole legs, its serpentine front curving through three drawers up to a galleried top. The bedside table was made for the nighttime necessities, a candle and a glass of water, a book, whatever a person wanted close until morning, all within reach of the pillow. Sylvie sets it beside a bed with a lamp and a stack of books on top and the drawers for everything you reach for last thing at night.

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 wood finish is in excellent condition, the drawers open smoothly, and the side table is sturdy and solid. A beautifully preserved piece with all the charm of an antique.
