Pair 19th Century French Louis XVI Walnut Marble Top Nightstands

Pair 19th Century French Louis XVI Walnut Marble Top Nightstands are an intriguing design, with neoclassical excellence in abundance, yet light and airy in visual presence!  Hand-crafted from fine walnut, each features a drawer casework with curved sides supported by four tapered and fluted legs that are rejoined together with a caned shelf below.  Carved detail is amazing, with acanthus plumes in the place where rosettes normally appear, repeating egg trim, egg & dart molding, and Greek coin, with upturned acanthus fronds at the base of the columns.  A single cast bronze pull accesses the drawer, and the tops are fitted with beautifully veined marble that features a cove bevel and follows the unusual contours of the casework.  Excellent choices as end tables, as well as bedside companions!
Circa 1890s
Each measures 33H x 18W x 13D
