Product description
Model: Side table Style: Napoleon III Materials: Wood, inlay Period: Late 19th century Country of origin: France Provenance: Private collection Good condition according to its age and use Dimensions: 73 x 37.5 x 28.5 cm Delightful wooden side table with inlay and trompe l'oeil book decoration on the lower drawer, following the Napoleon III style. The table top features an excellent inlay figure with floral motifs, bordered on all sides except the front by a low edge. The piece features an elegant structure with curved lines and cabriole legs, characteristic of the historicist and eclectic taste of the Napoleon III style. It has a discreet upper drawer and a small lower compartment with folding doors, which reinforces its functional value without sacrificing formal harmony. The front of these folding doors is decorated with a highly visually ingenious trompe l'oeil: a panel simulating a shelf of leather-bound books, a decorative device highly appreciated by the bourgeoisie of the period, who sought to combine functionality and aesthetic sophistication in domestic interiors. This faux livre effect gives it an intellectual yet playful character, in line with the cabinet furniture typical of the French Second Empire. Shipping of the product will be paid by the buyer according to the dimensions, weight, and destination. We will contact you to arrange the shipment and agree on a quote.

The buyer is responsible for paying import duties and associated taxes in the destination country, if applicable. Please note the seller's disclaimer of liability for any customs charges, as these are levied in the destination country and the amount payable is determined by that country's customs office. If an export permit is required, the costs are borne by the buyer. The cost depends progressively on the value of the work to be exported.
