This meticulously restored pair of nightstands by American of Martinsville, circa 1957, exemplifies the sophisticated design sensibilities of the Mid-Century Modern era, with subtle Hollywood Regency flourishes. The nightstands have been professionally refinished, showcasing a rich dark walnut stain on the cases, beautifully contrasted by butterscotch lacquer on the drawer fronts. This creates an elegant and versatile tone-on-tone effect.
Each nightstand offers ample storage with three dovetailed drawers, a testament to the quality construction. Vintage solid brass pulls complement the warm tones of the finish. The sculpted black bases are artfully accented with hand-applied gold leaf detailing and brass sabots, adding a touch of understated luxury and elevating the overall design. These details create the impression of the bases acting as pedestals. Details follow -
