18th-Century Louis XV Walnut Nightstand w/ Open Bookshelf and Quatrefoil Cutouts - 29½" x 19¼"

This elegant Louis XV period walnut bedside table features a refined silhouette with gracefully curved legs ending in delicate escargot feet. The openwork side panels add both charm and functionality, allowing for ease of transport, while the scalloped backboard enhances its decorative appeal. 

During the Louis XV period, furniture design emphasized fluidity, asymmetry, and organic shapes, moving away from the rigidity of earlier styles. Crafted from walnut, a favored wood for its durability and rich grain, this piece embodies the lightness and elegance typical of 18th-century French furniture. Its compact yet sophisticated design suggests it was made for a well-appointed interior, possibly as a bedside or occasional table.

Today, this piece lends itself beautifully to a range of interior styles. It can serve as a distinctive nightstand in a classic or eclectic bedroom, a side table in a cozy reading nook, or even as a chic bookshelf for treasured volumes. Its warm patina and graceful lines make it an eye-catching yet functional accent in both period and contemporary interiors.
