19th century French Louis XVI rosewood marble top nightstand were crafted from what is considered the king of woods, obtained in such abundance during the late 18th and entire 19th centuries by European furniture makers that the species is protected today. The rich natural coloration and ability to last for centuries without signs of aging were its strongest points. This nightstand illustrates the point, with classical styling inspired by the ancient Greeks and Romans, including rosettes flanking the drawer, with an open space with shelf defined by four tapered and fluted columns, and finally a cabinet below framed by fluted pilasters whose door opens to reveal a compartment with shelf. Elegantly executed molding detail pervades the design, and wraps around the luxuriously marquetry in doors, circa 1870s.
