Dating to the Art Deco period, these bedside cabinets reflect the refined simplicity of Alpine craftsmanship, combining practical construction with a lively decorative presence. Each cabinet features a slightly overhanging rectangular top, one upper drawer, and a lower cupboard door opening to an internal storage compartment with shelf.

The fronts are enriched with a painted faux-grain decoration, creating a striking marbled wood effect that contrasts beautifully with the more natural larch grain visible on the sides, tops, interiors, and backs. The small red knobs add a distinctive decorative accent, giving the pair a particularly appealing Tyrolean character.

Recovered in Austrian Tyrol, the cabinets have been part of A&MYART Collections since 1999. Their compact proportions and warm decorative finish make them suitable as bedside cabinets, occasional storage pieces, or characterful accent furniture in both rustic mountain interiors and contemporary settings.
