Luxurious pair of two wooden French Art Nouveau nightstands or bedside tables by Paul Alexandre Dumas. Beautifully designed with typical Art Nouveau organic lines. The cabinets have carvings of leaves and fruit and bronze hardware decorated with the same leaves. Both cabinets have a drawer under the rich pink and grey marble top. One cabinet is open with two shelves and the other has a door with a space where people used to store their chamber pot. One of the marbles was broken but has been professionally and barely visible repaired.

Paul-Alexandre Dumas, pupil of Alexandre Blondeau, Léon Jouenne for the engraving and the famous Louis Majorelle for cabinet making. Around 1900, he moved to Paris and took over the Barbedienne firm.
