Each stands on four sharply tapered legs, the rear pair extending above the top into pointed, spear-like posts that frame the raised gallery back. A single drawer sits below the top, fitted with pierced rococo-style brass pulls, with a shallow scalloped apron beneath.

The heavy, angular leg profile and exaggerated proportions give the pair a distinctly sculptural, Brutalist character within an otherwise traditional cabinetmaking vocabulary. The oak shows a warm, even tone, with dovetail joinery visible in the drawer boxes.

Compact in footprint and bold in silhouette, the pair suits either side of a bed or as small occasional tables. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
