Are these cabinets sold individually?

Most of the listed pieces and archive examples appear as matched pairs rather than single bedside chests. This reflects how they were originally commissioned for twin beds. Buyers seeking a single nightstand will find that the inventory consists primarily of these paired sets.

What woods are used in the parquetry?

The surface veneers utilise exotic and native timbers including kingwood, tulipwood, walnut, oak, mahogany, and bois de violette. These woods are selected for contrasting grain and colour. Artisans cut and fit them together to form geometric patterns across the top and sides.

Do they feature marble tops?

Several versions incorporate fitted marble slabs inset into the upper surface. These are often rose marble or similar decorative stone. Other variants feature plain wood veneer tops or inlaid marquetry designs instead of stone.

How do I date these cabinets?

Dating relies on the recorded periods of nineteen hundred, nineteen twenty, and nineteen thirty, alongside nineteenth-century examples. Stylistic indicators like Louis XV or Neo-Classical motifs also help determine the era. Construction methods and timber choices further clarify the age of each piece.
