The antique vanity table comprises a large hinged rectangular bevelled mirror, flanked by two impressive supports, including several shelves, with a small cupboard, decorated with a fine floral carved panel, on a punch work background, set within a moulded frame. The up-stand is secured to the Victorian dressing table base by several elegant turned supports, with mirrored & moulded back panels. Below the tabletop, the central section of the Victorian Maple & Co. dressing table comprises a large bow-front drawer, flanked by a bank of three drawers either side. The drawers are finished with chamfered drawer fronts and are constructed with solid mahogany hand-dovetail drawer linings. The doors and drawer fronts retain the original top-quality solid brass handles, brass lever locks and a working key. Below the drawer line, the Victorian duchess dressing table is decorated with a shaped frieze and the whole unit stands on six block tapered legs, united by a large pot-board shelf, which terminates on the original brass & ceramic mug castors. The Victorian Maple & Co. dressing table is raised on its original moulded plinth and retains its original backboards. The Victorian vanity table dismantles into four sections (central mirror, two back supports and base), allowing easy access up the staircase into the bedroom.

Condition Report:
Nominal old use marks to the leading edges of the frame, but nothing significant considering its age. The Victorian vanity table has been cleaned and wax-polished by hand in our workshop to a professional standard. The doors and drawers all close comfortably. All the original drawer and door locks are present (including a working key) with the original brass handles and escutcheons. The Victorian dressing table retains the original bevel glass, which show minor signs of foxing is certain places. There are light surface scratches to the central hinged mirror – we can replace the mirror, for a new bevel mirror if preferred. All drawers run smoothly and closes flush to the frame. The Victorian dressing table is raised on its original legs, brass & ceramic castors and backboards.
