The bedsides boast a bombe shaped design with shaped elegant shaped sides. Constructed of tulipwood and kingwood veneers in a symmetrical form to each side of the bedside, they boast stunning floral marquetry drawer fronts. The marquetry consists of satinwood flowers, olive wood leaves and mahogany stems. The drawers retain their original brass floral fretwork handles and feature dovetailed drawer linings. The tops of the bedside boast their original and exceptionally good quality veined freestanding marble tops. The front corners of the bedsides are decorated with fine brass ormolu mounts with a further mount to the frieze. The bedsides sit on four elegant cabriole legs and the two front legs feature brass ormolu mounts.
These bedside features a rich colour. As they boast the original polish, they have a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
Condition Report:
These bedside cabinets are in excellent original condition. Nominal old use to the leading edges but nothing significant considering the age of the item. Importantly, there is no damage or chips to the tops of the original freestanding marble tops. Please note, the marble tops were designed to be freestanding; which means they are meant to rest by gravity alone on the tops of the bedsides. They are very heavy; they are not supposed to be glued down. The dovetailed drawers are smooth running and close flush to the frame; they also feature the original brass drawer handles and the original brass ormolu mounts. These besides are solid in joint and ready to use.
