French Early 1900s Eclectic Side Table w/ Swan-Neck Legs and Lion-Paw Feet - 30¼"

An eclectic bedside table in stripped walnut, this piece has sculptural swan‑neck supports and front feet that resolve in crisp lion paws. The top sits over a single drawer with a cast brass pull, flanked by carved palmette blocks, and an open cabinet with one shelf provides practical storage. The walnut shows a mellow, matte grain from the hand‑stripped finish, with light edges softened by age. Dating to the early 20th century, it draws on Empire Revival taste, where swans and animal paw feet signaled neoclassical grandeur. Wear is consistent with age, lending the wood a soft patina that underscores the piece’s authenticity and quiet charm.

At the bedside, it brings quiet character and welcome order, with open shelves for books and a drawer ideal for small essentials, leaving the top clear for a lamp or carafe. It also works well in a hallway as a discreet catchall, or serves in a dining room as a compact console with glassware below and a vase or sculpture above. The carved details and warm wood tones lend a grounded elegance that pairs effortlessly with linen, leather, and painted finishes, adding a sculptural accent to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
