French 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. Found in Avignon and dating to the 19th century, it stands open at the front beneath a scalloped gallery, a heart cut clean through each side and the whole of it lifted on long curved cabriole legs. Those legs and folk-cut hearts place it in provincial France, where even a plain bedside necessity was given a little beauty. Sylvie would set it beside a bed for a book and a glass of water, the heart catching the lamplight.

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