Pair 19th Century French Louis XVI Painted Nightstands with Carrara Marble is a true marvel of the cabinetmaker's art!  Hand-crafted from solid French walnut which was still in abundance during the Napoleon III period, each was designed in the neoclassical revival form with stately, tailored architecture enhanced by embellishments and corner columns reminiscent of the glory of ancient Greece and Rome.  The top consists of elegant Carrara marble contoured and beveled to follow the casework below.  Each corner transitions to intricately turned, fluted and carved columns, together flanking the cabinet and drawer below.  The drawer features a carved knob with foliate sprays, while a relief carving of a shell with sprays graces the apron below.  Fine molding detail creates a framework for the drawer facades and sides, and each door opens to reveal surprising storage, making this piece as functional as it is beautiful to behold!
