"Bedside System, 3 In 1 Secretary Cabinet And Bathroom Cabinet"
Very original bedside table from the end of the 19th century. If the bedside table once closed seems classic, it is not. This bedside table was patented by Amand Gauvain (iron mark on the wood). It has 3 functions. It can be used as a bedside table. The chamber pot could be placed in the trapdoor containing two false drawers. It is also a secretaire, the top with the marble opens and the first drawer moves forward. The interior is covered with a beautiful lemon wood veneer. Lately the bedside is also a vanity unit. In fact, the back of the furniture is designed to open. A cupboard is hidden there and a basin unfolds. (The pelvis is missing). Good general condition, the veneer is a little damaged on one side. A small piece of wood is missing in the lower rear part.
