This complementary pair of early 20th-century nightstands is crafted in fruitwood with bookmatched walnut inlays, original brass hardware, and marble tops. Each features a shaped apron with carved floral detail and an upper display tier supported by a carved back panel flanked by stylized organic carvings. Variations in tone and very slight difference in size (1/2″) reflect the handmade nature of the pair, though the construction, materials, and decorative motifs are matched.
These pieces were made in the Catalan Modernisme style, a local interpretation of Art Nouveau that flourished in Barcelona around the turn of the century. A pair like this would have originally been found in a fashionable city apartment during that cultural peak.
