This Victorian vanity box dates from 1860 in the Victorian style. The piece is fashioned from burr walnut veneer with a warm brown tone, complemented by brass hinges and an escutcheon. The lift-up lid reveals a blue velvet interior lining, alongside fitted sections containing silver-topped glass jars and bottles with ornate plating. Additional visible details include polished timber grain, matching glassware, and a keyhole plate on the front edge. The box measures 18 cm high, 31 cm wide, and 22.5 cm deep. In a modern interior, this item suits placement on a sideboard top to store cosmetics, jewellery, or trinkets. It also works well in a bedroom or dressing room as a decorative storage accessory.

FAQs

A Victorian vanity box, also known as a dressing case, was a nineteenth-century personal container designed to store toiletries, perfume bottles, and grooming instruments for travel or bedroom display.

These pieces were typically constructed from figured hardwoods such as burr walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, lined with silk or velvet, and fitted with cut glass bottles capped with silver or silver plate.

Authentic pieces feature period lock mechanisms, hand-cut joinery, silver hallmarks or maker marks on metal bottle caps, and hand-finished interior compartments suited to nineteenth-century grooming tools.

Positioning the box in an open position on a sideboard, console, or dressing table allows the glass bottles and interior fabric lining to act as a decorative tabletop display.

Dust the wood finish with a dry microfibre cloth, maintain stable humidity to prevent veneer movement, and polish silver elements using a specialised cloth while avoiding contact with the fabric lining.
