Your Louis XVI bedside tables could bring $300-500 at auction the pair. (I'm assuming the other not pictured is in the same condition.) It's so difficult to tell what type of wood from photos, but it looks like walnut veneers and a fruit wood of some type. I think you're correct on the time period and well cared for.
I wish they'd bring more as I particularly love French furniture. It's so glamorous and sophisticated. I hope you treasure and enjoy them. C'est magnifique!
French furnitures is often difficult to date because it a lot of it was made in smaller shops that still used techniques from previous eras. Pieces like this were made right through the 1930's to World War 2 , the styles popularity being revive over and over again since original with its inception in the 1700's. They were often made a mix of highly decorative veneers, walnut , mahogany, fruit wood and various other exotic hardwoods. Values vary by local demand, much higher in more urban upscale markets, but often going for under $300.00 in general estate contents auctions.
