About the Item

French 19th-century walnut side table or writing table, characterized by the refined simplicity of provincial craftsmanship. The rectangular top, formed from wide boards, retains a rich, time-softened patina with subtle tonal variation. A single frieze drawer with a turned wooden pull sits beneath a delicately shaped apron, while four slender cabriole legs lend the piece a graceful, balanced silhouette. Reflecting the continued influence of the Louis XV aesthetic in rural France, the table presents a restrained and practical interpretation of an established decorative tradition. Subtle surface wear and traces of historical use contribute depth and authenticity, underscoring the quiet elegance and versatility of this 19th-century form. Versatile in scale, it would serve equally well as a side table, console, or small writing desk. From Provence, France. #8546 H skirt 20.5”
