Napoleon III Period Walnut Side Table w/ Sliding Extension -28"

This refined Napoleon III period writing table, crafted in rich walnut, is a superb example of 19th-century French design blending functionality with elegance. Dating from circa 1860-1880, the table features graceful cabriole legs, characteristic of Louis XV revival styles, enhanced by finely cast bronze mounts at the shoulders and delicate sabots at the feet.

The octagonal tabletop includes a recessed leather writing surface with gold tooling. Flanking the sides are two lateral drawers, designed to provide convenient storage for writing essentials or personal items, reflecting the practical ingenuity of the Napoleon III era. The lower shelf, framed by the elegantly curved legs, provides additional functionality and serves as a display area for books or decorative objects. The warm walnut finish, with its natural grain patterns, enhances the table's timeless appeal, while its compact proportions make it an ideal piece for smaller spaces.
