Description

This is an antique coiffeuse dressing table. A French, kingwood extending writing table in Louis XV revival taste, dating to the late Victorian period, circa 1900.

Exceptional dressing table with concealed functions and a beautiful appearance

Displays a desirable aged patina and in good antique order

Superb kingwood presents fine grain interest throughout

Graced with rich caramel hues beneath a quality wax polish finish

Three part top presents striking parquetry with a quartered chequer pattern

Central section opens upwards, allowing the side leaves to extend

Reveals a quality dressing mirror situated upon an articulated rest, with fore and aft movement

The plate presents minimal foxing and a bright reflection

Of breakfront form, the distinctive shaped apron hosts a trio of vestigial brass handles

The fourth handle accesses a concealed drawer, in the lower right hand position

Ornate brass lock escutcheon to the centre — untested, key absent

At the bottom edge, a tooled and embossed leather jewellery or correspondence slide

Concealed drawer to the lower right crafted upon an oak drawer box

Useful storage beneath the three piece top ideal for keeping accoutrements

Raised upon four elegant cabriole legs, finished with fine ormolu caps to each toe

Unmarked as such, but closely redolent of Alfred Beurdeley (1847 - 1919)

This is a delectable antique coiffeuse dressing table, with beautiful colour and craftsmanship of a superior quality and finish. As useful for writing correspondence as it is in the boudoir, the feature set will surprise and delight. Solid joints and construction, delivered ready for the home.

FAQs

The Louis XV revival style draws inspiration from the mid-18th-century French rococo period, characterised by flowing asymmetrical curves, cabriole legs, serpentine fronts, and ornate floral or natural motifs.

These pieces typically feature fine hardwoods and exotic veneers such as kingwood, rosewood, or walnut applied over a secondary timber substrate, often accented with hand-cut marquetry and cast gilt bronze or brass mounts.

Authentic pieces from the Victorian or Edwardian revival eras can be identified by examining the construction joints, timber shrinkage patterns, hand-cut dovetails in the drawers, and the ageing characteristics of the brassware and interior linings.

An antique dressing table functions effectively as a focal point in a bedroom or as a compact writing desk in a study, pairing well with minimalist modern seating to create a balanced contrast between old and new.

Maintain antique veneer by dusting regularly with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding direct sunlight and extreme humidity fluctuations, and periodically applying a quality microcrystalline wax to nourish the polished wood surface.
