19th c. Bedside Table

France, 19th Century

$655

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Hard To Find

A table de chevet took its name from the chevet, the head of the bed, for it lived its whole life within arm's reach of a sleeper. Made in the Louis XV manner, it carries a small drawer above an open shelf beneath a scalloped gallery, a heart cut into one side and the whole of it raised on slender cabriole legs. Those legs and the little pierced heart place it in provincial France, where even a plain bedside necessity was given a little beauty. Sylvie would stand it by a bed, the drawer for what you want out of sight and the shelf for the book you have not finished.

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