Louis XV Kidney-Shaped Nightstand with Ormolu Bronze Mounts

Royal French Inspiration

Drawing from the golden age of Louis XV French court furniture, this kidney-shaped chevet captures the fluid asymmetry and romantic opulence of Rococo design. Its distinctive haricot silhouette echoes the finest pieces once gracing the Palace of Versailles.

Exceptional Materials

Constructed from solid hardwood and dressed in richly figured walnut and burl veneers with crossbanded marquetry borders, the piece is crowned with a gallery-trimmed top surface. Cast ormolu bronze mounts — including floral swags, ribbon bows, and scrolling apron hardware — are finished in warm antique gold.

Refined Craftsmanship

Each cabriole leg tapers gracefully into a gilt bronze sabots foot, while the two fitted drawers glide smoothly with dovetail joinery. The curved apron bears a central rocaille bronze escutcheon, hand-applied by Brass & Wood master artisans in Cairo, continuing a centuries-old tradition of European classical furniture making.
