French Regency Style Side Table with Single Drawer, Marquetry Top and Brass Ring Pulls

Cut corners and a single drawer with round pulls give this side table its poise.

This Regency style side table with a single drawer, marquetry top and brass ring pulls is from France, and dates to the 20th century. It is wood. Marquetry builds a surface decoration from thin pieces of contrasting wood veneer cut to shape and fitted together, and tabletops are a classic place to show it. Small table with an octagonal top banded in lighter inlay, a shallow frieze drawer fitted with two round gold-toned pulls, and four long, tapering square legs. The reddish-brown surface has a soft sheen and thin pale lines. It is 20 inches long, 14 deep and 26.5 high.

Trim, tidy and well provided with elegant legs.
