Italian Louis XVI Walnut Bedside Table with Veneered Inlay, Late 18th Century

About the Item

This refined Italian Louis XVI bedside table, crafted in the late 18th century, embodies the neoclassical ideals of symmetry, proportion, and understated elegance. Executed in solid walnut and enhanced with delicate fruitwood inlays, the table reflects the skilled artistry of Italian ébénistes influenced by the stylistic rigors of the Louis XVI period. Its architectural form is restrained yet elegant, featuring a single upper drawer and a paneled door below, both outlined with linear inlaid borders that create depth and visual structure. The rich tones of the walnut, warm, honeyed, and full of movement, are accentuated by the contrast of the lighter inlay, giving the piece quiet sophistication without ostentation. The table is raised on tapered legs with veneered detailing, a classic hallmark of the Louis XVI style, where structure and decoration go hand in hand. The side panels are also framed with inlay, a detail often reserved for more refined commissions, underscoring the quality of the workmanship. A round brass pull and original escutcheon offer a subtle glint of metal that adds to the balanced aesthetic. The top, crafted entirely of wood, features a veneered surface with a bordered inlay pattern that mirrors the visual rhythm of the rest of the piece.
