One available, matching table available in store.

This restrained neoclassical piece features a beautiful peach-beige marble top with natural veining, resting within a raised wooden surround. A second matching marble slab forms an interior shelf, providing practical storage surface.

The warm reddish-brown wooden cabinet is decorated with contrasting light and dark wood marquetry. Delicate floral motifs, scrolling vines and ornamental details form a ark frame around a checkered square on the front door and side panels. The cabinet door then opens to reveal a marble-lined compartment, with a small wooden drawer underneath. The drawer features a decorative brass ring pull and retains its interior handwritten markings, an intriguing glimpse into its history. Traditional construction details include hand-sawn wood panels, slotted-head screws and aged metal hinges.

The cabinet stands on four slender, tapered legs that counters the heavy marble. Its compact proportions make it particularly suitable as a bedside table, antique nightstand, hallway cabinet or decorative side table.
