This exquisite little stand, crafted in the Napoleon III style, is a perfect blend of elegance and fine craftsmanship. The upper shelf is framed by a pierced brass gallery, while the lower shelf is delicately bordered with a brass ribbon, adding a refined touch to its design.

The marquetry is truly remarkable, featuring a beautiful mix of wood species—walnut burl, rosewood, blackened pearwood, with intricate inlays of amaranth, boxwood, ebony, and mahogany. Its ebonized legs, typical of the period, enhance its distinctive character.

Whether used as a side table in a living room or displayed with flowers, candles, or other decorative objects, this piece is sure to bring sophistication to any space. Its compact size makes it easy to place just about anywhere, adding charm wherever it stands.
