Description:
Biedermeier lacquered side table, circa 1815, enhanced by a lacquer finish applied at a later date. Built with slender proportions and compact dimensions, the furniture presents a slightly shaped rectangular top, a single front drawer, and a lower connecting shelf. The legs are elegantly shaped, tapered, and gently curved, a detail that visually lightens the overall structure.
The surface is finished with a light grey lacquer. Natural wear to the finish, visible along edges, corners, and contact surfaces, reveals the underlying wood.
This side table is suitable for use as a side table or small writing desk, maintaining a discreet and functional presence within interiors furnished with historical elements.
Work carried out on all our furniture:
– Structural restoration: replacement of small missing parts, closure of any gaps in the backboard, consolidation of deteriorated areas, inspection and repair of hardware.
– Thorough woodworm treatment.
– Cleaning and sanitisation of the interiors.
– Exterior finish with natural beeswax.
– Interior finish with shellac, a natural alcohol‑based varnish.
Customizations:
Upon request, it is possible to agree on:
– the desired level of restoration;
– the customization of the interior
(addition of hanging rails, shelves, dividers, etc.).
