Hand-Painted Sage Green Nightstand with Bird Botanical Panels | Vintage Bedside Table

The Piece

A one-of-a-kind, artist-refinished nightstand in deep sage green and warm honeyed wood, wrapped in layered botanical detail. Both sides are inset with lush bird-and-floral panels, turning the piece into a little storybook vignette beside the bed. The two drawers are striped with alternating bands of wood grain and coordinating paper, framed in hand-painted green with softly distressed edges and aged brass pulls.

Compact but full of character, this nightstand reads like a miniature cabinet of curiosities—perfect for bedrooms, reading nooks, or as a side table where you want color, pattern, and history in a single piece.

Design & Construction

→ Form & Style

• Classic late-20th-century nightstand silhouette with stepped base and framed side panels.

• Rich sage green body contrasted with warm natural wood top, rails, and lower apron.

• Botanical bird panels on each side plus matching striping on the drawer fronts for a cohesive, art-forward look.

→ Materials & Finish

• Solid wood case (not flat-pack or particle-board), sanded, cleaned, and refinished.

• Hand-painted sage green enamel on the case with sealed natural wood top and accents.

• High-quality botanical paper panels carefully applied and sealed for durability.

• Original brass hardware cleaned and retained for a vintage, collected feel.

History & Provenance

Originally a standard wood nightstand, this piece has been fully re-imagined as a one-off Viridian Eclection restoration. The structure is late-20th-century American production, chosen for its solid build and clean lines—an ideal canvas for layered paint, paper, and refinishing work.

Condition

This is a vintage-style, artist-refurbished piece:

• Structurally sound with smooth-opening drawers.

• Refinished surfaces show intentional brushwork, distressing, and small variations consistent with hand work.

• Top, panels, and drawer fronts are sealed for everyday use; light coasters and gentle care recommended for longest life.
