A.R.T. Home Furnishings Old World Marble Top Nightstand

The high traditional design of Old World is inspired primarily by classic European styles of antiquity. Clearly influenced by the later Renaissance period, which featured enrichment of ornament and outline, Old World reflects the elaborate details of the French and English translation of this significant architectural movement. Roman design standards like columns and pilasters were applied to furniture as well as a full complement of bases, cornices and pediments. The veneer is created by artistic use of cathedral cherry and exotic avodire veneers set off by fine herringbone inlay. Sculptural acanthus leaf carvings adorn the canted pilasters of the case pieces, and the case fronts are highlighted by a carved frame molding in a rhythmic Lamb’s tongue motif. A hidden storage tray behind the upper frame molding is accessed by opening the top drawer and then engaging the finger groove machined into the front, bottom edge of the pull-out tray. This piece has a slightly taller profile at 33″ to coordinate well with the estate bed. There is one adjustable shelf behind the two lower curved doors, and the upper drawer is lined in felt. The top is adorned with an emperador marble top. The finish is a rich and warm pomegranate shade that has both depth and clarity which allows the natural beauty of the wood graining to shine through. Burnished edges, hand rubbed fronts and machine rubbed tops provide a satiny glow that enriches the Old World feel of this collection.
