The cabinet is surmounted by a beautifully contrasting marble top, providing a durable and sophisticated surface while complementing the rich tones and natural figuring of the walnut. The upper section incorporates an open shelf supported by finely turned columns, creating an attractive architectural arrangement and providing convenient space for displaying decorative objects. A further central shelf offers additional open storage, while the lower section incorporates a single-door cupboard with a ceramic-lined interior.

Subtle carved detailing throughout enhances the design without overwhelming its compact proportions, while the original handles remain in place, preserving the period character of the cabinet.

The walnut displays pronounced natural grain and attractive figuring throughout, complemented by rich, warm colour and a mature patina developed through generations of age and use. Presented in good antique condition, with appropriate signs of age and use consistent with its 19th-century origin. At only 41 cm wide, this is a particularly versatile example of French furniture, offering multiple levels of storage and display within an exceptionally compact footprint. Ideally suited as a bedside cabinet, side cabinet, occasional table or decorative accent within traditional or contemporary interiors. Dimensions: Height: 82 cm Width: 41 cm Depth: 35.5 cm See less
