Antique wooden bedside table, fully restored and refinished by hand.
This piece was designed as both a functional and decorative element, blending clean lines, craftsmanship, and poetic inspiration.
The frame was sanded and then repainted in a deep blue with a matte finish, creating an elegant and contemporary look. The entire piece is protected with a varnish, ensuring durability while maintaining a soft, velvety feel.
The lower shelf features a hand-painted artwork depicting two koi carp facing each other, evoking yin and yang, symbols of balance and harmony. Certain details of the design are highlighted with gold leaf, adding a delicate sheen and a subtle light that catches the reflections depending on the lighting.
The inside of the drawer is lined with a decorative fabric featuring a koi carp motif, carefully glued in place, creating a delightful graphic surprise when opened. The brass handle, with its more contemporary design, is accented by a small red tassel, a subtle yet striking detail that adds rhythm to the overall look.
This piece evokes a soft and elegant Asian style, blending strong symbolism, rich colors, and visual balance. It intentionally retains a few subtle marks from its past, testaments to its history and the authenticity of its craftsmanship.
This is a unique piece, ideal as a bedside table, side table, or small decorative table.
