Object Description
An Exceptionally Well Matched Pair Of 18th Century, Chippendale Period, Mahogany Bedside Night Tables, Or Tray Top Commodes, With Shaped Gallery Tops Over Superbly Figured Pairs Of Cupboard Doors And Converted Pull Out Drawers With Elegant Shaped Aprons, Raised On Square Chamfered Legs.
An exceptional example of the sterotypical Georgian tray top commode, or bedside night table, this fabulous pair of tables have clearly been well loved and cherished throughout the many years of their lives. As is very common they have been matched into a pair, however unlike the vast majority of matched pairs which you will find, it is just about impossible to find any differences between these two without extreme close inspection.
For reference, the only difference which we have been able to find is a slight variation on the height of the handles for the converted drawers, even this is not particularly noticable though. We do in fact wonder whether these were made by the same craftsman, in the same workshop, but at slightly different times such is the similarities of them.
This form of bedside table continues to prove extremely popular for a whole host of reasons, including the fact they are so sturdy when compared to more traditional, smaller bedside tables. They also offer a large amount of storage and the tray type tops mean it is much less likely that anything placed on the tops will get accidentally knocked over.
As with all the items which we offer for sale this pair of bedside tables have been inspected by our highly skilled, traditional furniture restorers and received a natural wax polish before being offered for sale, meaning they are ready for immediate placement within the home.
