Each cabinet features a decorative fall-front upper compartment with shaped molding, an ornamental carved centerpiece, and a traditional metal escutcheon. Below, a generously sized drawer with decorative hardware provides additional storage.

The warm oak finish highlights the natural wood grain, while the gracefully curved legs, shaped aprons, and decorative details give these cabinets a timeless French-inspired appearance.

Measuring 28.5 inches wide and 31 inches tall, these substantial cabinets make an impressive matched pair of nightstands. They would also work beautifully as accent cabinets in a traditional bedroom or elegant living space.

Condition

Good vintage condition with visible wear, surface marks, minor scratches, and finish variations consistent with age and previous use.

One cabinet has a small irregular opening in the rear panel, apparently added to accommodate an electrical cord. There is also a small opening on the inside of the fall-front door area. These modifications are located on the back and inside of the fall-front compartment and are not visible when the cabinet is placed against a wall or when the door is closed. Please see the photographs for details. The price has been adjusted to reflect these modifications, although they are not visible in normal placement.

Both fall-front compartments and lower drawers open and close smoothly. One working key is included and operates the locks on both cabinets.

Please review all photographs carefully for additional condition details.

Exact maker, country of manufacture, and production date have not been established. The cabinets are described as French Louis XV-style based on their design.
