Two of the most popular items at Design Toscano, a trompe l’oeil side table and a connected books end table.
Trompe is the French term for the hollow head of a niche as a corbel, employed to carry tourelles and passages. Trompe loeil patterns on furniture are finely displayed by this decorative wooden side table, which contains a set of imitation books.
Called the “Lord Byron Wooden Side Table” the trompe l’oeil side table is said to “fool the eye” with delicate handpainted volumes of faux books to create a work of trompe l oeil furniture art. Now unavailable
Another popular piece at Design Toscano is this decorative “Sculptural Glass-Top Side Table”, a fake stack of books topped with glass for use as an interesting end table.
