The celadon blue lacquer, gilded at every carved edge, reads both composed and celebratory: a color the 18th-century French ateliers favored precisely because it holds candlelight with such warmth. This is a faithful interpretation of the Louis XV Rococo petite commode tradition, faithfully reproduced in the spirit of the painted provincial furniture that flourished in Lyon, Bordeaux, and Provence during the mid-1700s, when Parisian Rococo forms migrated outward and softened into something more domestic and intimate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe carcass is built from solid pine seasoned to below 10% humidity — a timber choice that resists seasonal movement and accepts hand-applied lacquer without telegraphing the grain beneath. Every carved mount — the acanthus leaf corner appliqués, the central shell escutcheon, the scrolled apron — is hand-carved and separately gilded before being fixed to the body, so the gold sits proud of the blue ground rather than sinking into it. The top is a shaped white marble slab with a gently serpentine front edge that mirrors the scalloped apron below. Drawer interiors run on smooth metal slides for daily practicality, while the brass ring pulls carry the period character without demanding a key.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWidth: 60 cm \/ Depth: 60 cm \/ Height: 70 cm\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 15 kg\u003cbr\u003eTwo drawers with metal slide runners.

The craftsmen who build this nightstand work within a tradition of classical European reproduction that Brass \u0026amp; Wood has refined over decades — marrying solid pine timber, Egyptian artisanship, and period-accurate ornament into furniture that earns its place in a serious bedroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials is this nightstand made from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe frame is solid pine lacquered in celadon blue with antique gold gilded carved wood mounts.
