The Beauty of French Louis XVI Burlwood Nightstands

There’s nothing quite like burlwood. With its swirling, organic grain and warm honeyed tone, burlwood furniture brings instant richness and sophistication to any room—especially when it's in the form of an elegant antique nightstand.

At Le Chateau, we carry a curated collection of authentic European burlwood nightstands, each with its own distinct character, craftsmanship, and charm. No two are ever the same—and that’s exactly why we adore them.

We don't only carry burl nightstands, we carry a variety burlwood pieces, from dressers to sideboards and more— explore the burl edit:

Burlwood comes from a rare growth on a tree where the grain twists and swirls in unpredictable, almost hypnotic patterns. It’s not cut from straight lumber—so what you're seeing is nature’s own artwork.

Every burlwood nightstand we source is:

• 100% authentic – no reproductions here
• Individually unique – no two patterns or tones are ever alike
• Crafted with care – often featuring dovetail drawers, brass hardware, and marble tops

Our nightstands don’t just come as-is. Many of our clients choose to add their own twist to these timeless pieces—and we’re here to make that happen.

At Le Chateau, you can customize your burlwood nightstand to fit your space and style:

1. Add or remove a marble top – elevate the look or go full woodgrain
2. Choose a lacquer finish – from high-gloss to matte, we can enhance the natural pattern
3. Sand it down for a raw, organic look – perfect for modern or minimalist interiors
4. Swap or modify the legs – from classic turned wood to sleek tapered styles

Send us a message to talk customizations—we’d love to bring your vision to life.

Aside from the natural beauty and vintage charm, burlwood nightstands are incredibly versatile. Whether you’re designing a bedroom, a luxe guest suite, or a moody sitting room, these pieces effortlessly straddle old-world elegance and modern-day edge.

• Use a pair to ground a room with warmth
• Style one as a side table with layered lighting and art
• Tuck one next to a reading chair for added texture and function

Because no two burlwood grains are alike, each piece is truly one of one. And at Le Chateau, we offer customization options to make your nightstand even more personal—refinishing, lacquering, sanding, modifying the legs, or even adding or removing marble tops. Whether you prefer a high-gloss modern look or a raw, rustic finish, we’re here to bring your vision to life.
