Created in Austria during the Biedermeier period in the second quarter of the 19th century, this charming end table features an elongated octagonal top sitting above a two toned apron accented with a darker veneer in its lower section. Boasting a general blond color, the table showcases a single drawer with inlaid shield-shaped keyhole, that opens to reveal a nicely partitioned interior with petite lidded compartments. Its dovetail construction reveals the piece's age. The ensemble is raised on four slender saber style legs with scrolling extremities. These legs secure a low shelf presenting a serpentine shape. With its graceful lines and blond veneer, this Austrian Biedermeier period end table from the 19th century will make for a lovely decorative addition to any home, perhaps placed in a living room or bedroom, used as a nightstand!
