Louis XV Rococo Ivory Carved Nightstand with Marble Top & Dual Drawers

Design & Inspiration

Set this piece beside any bed and the room acquires a focal point it did not have before. The ivory-painted frame, the veined marble top catching the morning light, the two drawers framed by delicate rope-molding borders — this nightstand carries the complete visual vocabulary of Louis XV Rococo cabinetry without excess or apology. It is a faithful interpretation of the petite commode forms that furnished the private bedchambers of 18th-century French aristocracy, scaled precisely for the modern bedroom while losing none of the period's characteristic grace.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The frame is built from solid pine dried to below 10% humidity — a foundation that resists the seasonal movement that warps lesser furniture. Over this, craftsmen have applied a hand-rubbed ivory finish that reveals the carved surfaces without flattening them, allowing the acanthus scrolls and rosette pulls to cast the fine shadows that give carved furniture its depth. The top is a single slab of natural marble, its creamy ground threaded with warm veining that echoes the ivory below. The two drawers operate on fitted wooden runners, and each front panel carries its own carved cartouche centered on a gilt-accented metal pull.

Weight: 15.0 kg.
The cabriole legs terminate in classic scroll feet, carved continuously from the leg itself — no applied ornament, no shortcuts. The rope-twist molding that borders the drawer frames is a signature detail of high Louis XV case furniture, distinguishing serious Rococo reproduction work from simplified commercial versions.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece leaving the Brass & Wood workshop is handcrafted in Egypt by artisans trained in classical European joinery and carving. The ivory finish is hand-applied and hand-rubbed in multiple coats to achieve the warm, slightly aged tone visible in the image — not sprayed, not rushed. This is the standard of reproduction that has defined the Brass & Wood catalog since its founding: no compromises on the details that matter.
