Object Description
A Very Good Quality And Exceptionally Close Matching
Pair Of 18th Century Mahogany Bedside Night Tables, Or
Tray Top Commodes, Having Galleried Tops Over Tambour
Doors And Converted Pull Out Drawers Raised On Square
Chamfered Legs
(A very good example of a typical Georgian bedside night
table design. These have almost certainly been produced
in the same workshop as they have near identical construction
features with just some extremely minor detailing differences between
them, as is nearly always the case with these objects.
We regularly see matched pairs offered for sale of that are nowhere
near as similar to each other as this particular pair and they are almost
certainly as close as you will find to a matching pair without having to pay
for a much more rarely found, and significantly more expensive “true pair”.
They continue to prove an extremely popular option for bedside tables
due to their relative sturdiness (especially when compared to various other
bedside options), the storage they are able to offer and the tray
type tops which make it much less likely items perched on top
will get knocked over.)
