Pair of End Tables in Mahogany and Brass with Carrara Marble Tops, Circa 1940

This pair of end tables, which can also serve as bedside tables, illustrates all the nobility of 1940s French furniture in the style of Maison Jansen. The structure in solid mahogany, with its deep and warm grain, houses three superposed drawers finely worked. The Carrara white marble crowning each table brings a luminous note of freshness and contrasts elegantly with the dark wood.

The brass work is exemplary here: moldings, handles, sabots and hardware have been carefully crafted to enhance the composition. The three drawers, aligned with perfect geometric rigor, slide smoothly thanks to original high-quality joinery. This discipline of design, inherited from neoclassical furniture, runs through the entire composition.

Carrara marble, chosen from among the most prestigious in Italy, is treated here in a generous thickness, ensuring both stability and visual quality. Its polished surface subtly reflects the light and offers practical use: books, lamps, decorative objects or drinks service can be placed there without fear of marks. The mahogany-marble-brass marriage constitutes one of the most recognizable signatures of French high-end decoration.

Presented as a pair, these end tables or bedside tables will naturally find their place on either side of a sofa to punctuate a large sitting room, or on either side of a bed to dress a master bedroom. Their classical design and the nobility of their materials make them compatible with a wide variety of interiors, from the most traditional to the most contemporary. A true signature pair to fully celebrate.
