Ebonized Oriental-Style Nightstand with Greek Key Base

This is an ebonized oriental-style nightstand, likely constructed from a solid wood frame with a dark, possibly black, lacquered or painted finish. The piece features a single drawer at the top, equipped with a distinct, elongated brass or brass-toned metal pull. The pull has an ornate, tear-drop or paddle-like shape, suggesting an East Asian influence. The primary color of the nightstand is a deep, glossy black or very dark brown, which shows some visible wear and surface scratches, particularly on the top surface where the finish appears scuffed and dull in areas. There is also a white sticker or label partially affixed to the upper right side of the drawer front or frame, indicating it may be from a retail or thrift store environment. One of the most striking features is the base, which is not a traditional set of four legs. Instead, it forms a stylized, continuous geometric pattern resembling a Greek Key or meander design, particularly on the right side. The left side features a solid, block-like leg structure which then connects to form the elaborate base on the right. This unique base design adds a contemporary or art deco flair to the otherwise traditionally styled drawer unit. The construction appears sturdy, though the finish indicates a used condition with some wear consistent with age and handling. The overall aesthetic suggests a piece from the mid-20th century to contemporary, drawing inspiration from classical East Asian and modern geometric designs. The craftsmanship of the joinery and finish, while showing wear, seems reasonably sound for its type.
