Mid-Century Modern Oak Parquet Nightstand

This is a rectangular mid-century modern commode or nightstand featuring a distinctive diamond-pattern parquet (marquetry) veneer on both the top surface and the dual drawer fronts. The piece is constructed from oak with a light-to-medium honey finish that highlights the natural grain. It features two large, stacked drawers, each centered with a substantial, oversized circular metal pull handle that appears to have a brushed nickel or satin brass finish. The cabinet is supported by four square, tapered legs that flare slightly outward, a hallmark of mid-20th-century design. The craftsmanship is evident in the precision-cut parquetry and the thin wood inlay borders framing the drawer fronts. Condition-wise, the piece shows visible signs of age and wear; there is noticeable scuffing and finish loss along the sharp upper right edge and corners. A small green adhesive residue or sticker is visible on the top surface. No manufacturer's stamp is immediately visible from this angle, but the style is consistent with high-end furniture manufacturers from the 1960s or 1970s. The overall structure appears sound, though the patina suggests it has been well-used over several decades.
