Built of richly figured walnut, the table is topped with an inset circular leather panel, bordered with delicate gold tooling and showing attractive timeworn patina consistent with age and use.
The drum-form body conceals a single door that opens to reveal interior shelving, making it ideal for use as a bedside table, lamp stand, or occasional cabinet. The warm walnut finish highlights the grain and curvature of the wood, while the stepped base and molded top edge add understated neoclassical elegance.
Measuring 15 inches in diameter and 28 inches high, this antique Louis Philippe side table is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use. A refined and versatile piece, equally suited for traditional, eclectic, or transitional interiors. See less
