Antique Night Table

Hi everybody :
Opinion time....................... garystan

While the render lighting and texture are very good, I think the scale of the table itself is too small. Maybe double or triple the size.
-
Antique items are usually very finely detailed and no disrespect intended, there is nothing fine about that item. Try raising it up with some legs but remember fine details.
You are not too far off the item in the picture.
A little further and you will have a nice result.

I agree with Bryan. The scale is off. Can't tell if it's the furniture, the base molding or the carpet.
The wood grain material needs help. What's going on on the left side of the drawer fronts? the reflections are strange, too.

Scale is way off. If the skirting is 6" then the table is 1' approx
That would then make the drawer pulls tiny.
I think once you get a handle on the scale issue the rest will follow.
Lose the carpet and mustard wall color to neutralize the look.
At the moment it looks like a jewellery box for 2 rings.

I nodeled this after a downloaded pic of table legs. I added the shadow so as to get a better look at it. It may not be perfect,but, I guess it's a start.

Please post an update garystan!

I would think of this as an early 20th century antique, maybe even art deco or streamlined, but still in the older furniture making tradition, so the details can be heavier but the other comments on this thread are right. It's a good start! I think to show off a piece the camera position, composition and light might be adjusted. Right now it looks like a snap shot of a mislaid piece. Seems to me either one adds more items or somehow make the piece stand out to look more like "studio" shot.

Funny thing.
I just watched and old movie last night, The Wild Geese II, and there was one interior scene where the footboard molding was very tall. My "guestimate" was at least 12" high, which is something you no longer see anywhere except in much older buildings, which is where this scene took place.
So this picture may actually be an accurate scale of the molding, but without anything else nearby the model to visually scale with, it's hard to tell.
But I thought I would just mention the footboard thing. I was quite surprised and immediately thought of this thread.
