Pair 19th Century Country French Louis XVI Painted Nightstands

Price: $3,984

Pair 19th Century Country French Louis XVI Painted Nightstands is a charming example of the combination of classical architecture and rustic French charm!  A wraparound backsplash encompasses a candle shelf above, and encloses the main surface to keep things in place.  The sides are beautifully carved and pierced with an oval which creates a handle effect, with an undulating rail created in the design that also protects the candle shelf.  The casework below consists of fluting on all three sides, with a drawer in the middle, centered with a flower motif and a pull knob.  Four tapered legs provide support, each carved with Greek coin overlay.  The painted finish has achieved a lovely patina over the decades, and enhances the fine carved detail to magnify the visual allure.
Circa 1890s
Each measures 30H x 17W x 11D
