1970s French Louis XVI Gilt Beech Side Table with Pink Marble Top
Introduce refined Parisian elegance into your interior with this authentic 1970s French Louis XVI–style side table, a beautifully proportioned accent piece that combines neoclassical design, fine materials, and thoughtful craftsmanship. Handcrafted in France, this table reflects the enduring influence of 18th-century Louis XVI aesthetics reinterpreted through mid-20th-century artisan production.
The frame is constructed from solid beech wood, prized for its strength and fine grain. It features classic Louis XVI carvings, including fluted legs, rosette medallions, and restrained linear ornamentation. Recently refinished by skilled artisans, the wood is finished in a warm antique gold tone that enhances the sculptural depth of the carvings while preserving subtle signs of age that contribute to its authentic vintage character.
Resting atop the frame is the table’s original natural Italian pink marble top, a luxurious and durable surface celebrated for its soft blush tones and organic veining. The marble’s cool, polished finish contrasts beautifully with the warmth of the gilded wood, creating a balanced and elegant palette suitable for both traditional and eclectic interiors.
A distinctive and practical feature of this piece is the woven cane lower shelf, which adds lightness to the silhouette while providing additional display or storage space. This thoughtful detail reinforces the table’s refined proportions and enhances its everyday functionality.
Perfectly scaled for use beside a sofa, armchair, bed, or in a hallway, this Louis XVI side table serves equally well as a decorative accent or a functional surface.
