With our absolute highest compliments Bay Colony Antiques takes the utmost pleasure in offering this remarkable pair of French nightstands. We are always in search of premium nightstands or antique bedside tables as they remain among the scarcest interior furnishings to routinely find and replace since demand traditionally far exceeds availability. Quite often when a pair of similar quality nightstands are sold through our online platforms we receive numerous messages in the following days inquiring after their availability or for an alert when a comparable pair are found. As our practice, we ask that all interested parties routinely check our online catalogues for new inventory as all items are priced with respect to fair market value and we expect certain offerings to be claimed nearly as soon as they become available to the public. It is our hope to find a deserving home for every item we offer as quickly as possible and with respect to our current offering we have no doubt someone in need of a high quality matched pair of nightstands has been waiting for such an opportunity.
These stands are truly a matched pair with lower doors which are designed to open in opposition to each other so that one stand is purposely intended to be placed on the left side of a bed and the other stand intended to be situated on the opposing right side. This feature will make daily use of the stands far more convenient as it will provide easy access to the large storage space available behind each door. The nightstands were built by an expert craftsman working in the Louis XVI style who fashioned each stand from solid oak and carved both pieces with great care. Each stand features a beautiful marble top with a finely molded edge that have remained in excellent condition largely due to the fact that the marble was affixed to each nightstand. This prevents accidental damage from happening throughout daily occurrences or when the stands are relocated. It is unfortunate that so many of these nightstands have either lost their original marble tops or that they were damaged previously. Both stands are fitted with a single drawer that features a brass pull fashioned in the traditional French Louis XVI style. The nightstands are well formed throughout and are raised on graceful cabriole legs which end in finely formed snail feet. The stands measure 15 3/4" wide x 15 3/4" deep at their widest points and stand 32 1/2" tall overall.
