Lombard Louis XVI cabinet with dimensions of 77 x 40 x 33 cm, inlaid with various woods. The Louis XVI bedside table, despite its extreme simplicity due to the flat and rectangular top, front, and sides, owes its elegance not only to the beautiful proportions and slender legs but also to the harmonious subdivision of the inlaid panels, crafted with great refinement and artistic sense. The front, flanked by two inlaid foliage decorations on a black background, is constructed with only one door in which a female figure inlaid amid trees and a vase stands out, made in various woods of different tones with a small drawer with walnut and threads that echo the decoration of the door. The decorative setting on the horizontal surface and on the sides arises from the various truly refined, elegant, and colorful wood games.
