Description

If I didn’t know it was French I would think it was from the Glasgow School with the Macintosh design, totally iconic from the handles to the designs to the front. It could have been a pupil from the Glasgow school or simply a follower. Its also extremely good quality which can be seen from the dovetails to the drawers.

Anyway it has real presence and now-days would make an amazing vanity in the bathroom or simply a chest of drawers. Made from solid Oak which we have bleached to lighten and in overall excellent original condition for the home.

Width 87 cm

Depth 51.5 cm

Drawer Depths 8,13,13,13 cm

Date of Manufacture

Sussex Antiques and Interiors has dated this French Art Nouveau Vanity to the 1890s.

FAQs

Art Nouveau furniture, emerging in the late 19th century, is characterised by organic lines, stylised floral motifs, and an emphasis on craftsmanship inspired by natural forms.

These pieces typically utilised solid regional hardwoods such as oak or walnut, often paired with functional and decorative elements like slab marble tops and cast brass or bronze hardware.

Authenticity is determined by hand-cut dovetail joinery, period-appropriate hardware fixing methods, natural aging of the wood grain, and the thickness and veining of the original marble slab.

Pairing historical wooden furniture with clean walls and minimalist modern fixtures creates a balanced, textural contrast that highlights the craftsmanship of the piece.

Maintain wood using a quality microcrystalline wax to nourish the finish, and clean marble exclusively with neutral, non-acidic soap and water to prevent etching.
