Very rare Somno in flamed mahogany from the Empire-Consulate period in a pyramidal shape, also called Somno en pylon, characteristic shape of the "Return from Egypt" period.
Very beautiful frame of blackened wood taking the form of long and thin palms.
Original breccia marble top. Entrance keyhole in gilded bronze finely chiseled with bunches of grapes and vine leaves. 

Literally in Latin "for sleep", the Somno is a new piece of furniture at the very beginning of the 19th century. Designed for the bedroom and designating a particular form of bedside table. All sides, still resting on a base, its shape close to the pedestal derives from the ancient altar. 
Most vintage Somnos that can be found for sale today are mainly rectangular or cylindrical in shape. The pyramidal forms, called "pylons", like the one proposed, are extremely rare. 

Very good state of conservation, usual restorations. 
Empire-Consulate period 1800-1810

As with most of my art objects and furniture, I am very careful to be able to offer them to you at a very low expert estimate.
