Patinated Wooden Bedside Table, 1800s

This twentieth-century bedside table boasts a delightfully patinated look, with layers of green paint that have peeled away over time to reveal the wood beneath. It has a high rimmed top, creating a kind of small niche or tray useful for keeping items in place, such as glasses or a jug of water. Underneath, a glass door opens onto a compartment allowing you to see inside while protecting the contents from dust. This door is fitted with a wooden handle and latch. At the bottom of the bedside table, a drawer with a clamshell handle offers a discreet and secure storage solution. The table's finely turned and carved legs add a touch of elegance and refinement. Despite its worn appearance, the sturdiness of the wood construction is evident, testifying to the quality and durability of the piece. This piece of furniture, with its worn charm and antique character, could be an interesting and functional conversation piece in a bedroom, bringing a touch of authenticity and nostalgia for a bygone era.
