Each table has a carved portrait medallion centered on the apron, carved tassels at the corners and at each end, and slender tapered legs. The classical decoration is carefully placed, allowing the tables’ simple lines and balanced proportions to stand out.
Their pale painted finish has a softly worn appearance that gives the pair warmth and character. The design is light yet sophisticated, and the matching tables offer a natural way to bring symmetry to a room. Place them on either side of a doorway or fireplace, or use them separately in the same space. Perfect for an entryway or hallway, they also work well behind a sofa or as a pair of bedroom tables.
