Antique French Fruitwood Bedside Table Nightstand Lamp Table, c.1860

A charming mid-19th century French fruitwood bedside table or nightstand, dating to circa 1860, offering elegant proportions and honest country-house character. Constructed in warm-toned fruitwood with pleasing natural grain throughout, this piece features a single drawer above an open cupboard recess, all raised on slender tapering legs that give it a light, refined presence.

Originally intended as a pot cupboard or bedside table, it now lends itself equally well as a lamp table, sofa-side table, or occasional table in both traditional and contemporary interiors. The drawer retains its simple original metal knob and offers useful storage for smaller items, while the open lower compartment is ideal for books, baskets or bedside essentials.

The colour and surface show gentle wear consistent with age, adding depth and authenticity without detracting from its usability. Its compact footprint makes it particularly well suited to smaller bedrooms, guest rooms, hallways or country cottages, while the restrained French design allows it to sit comfortably alongside English antiques.

A versatile and increasingly sought-after example of 19th century French provincial furniture, combining practicality, warmth and understated elegance.
