This Art Deco dressing table is a 1930 piece produced in limed oak with a pale wood tone and a prominent grain finish. The composition incorporates five drawers fitted with simple turned wooden knobs, a stepped central section, and an attached tri-fold mirror with bevelled glass panels. The visible signs of age include surface wear and tonal variations across the wood. Supported by low block feet, the structure shows clean linear mouldings typical of the period. The piece measures 165 cm high, 137 cm wide, and 61 cm deep. In a modern home, this item suits placement in a bedroom as a functional vanity unit or dressing area, providing surface space and storage capacity while adding period character to the interior.

FAQs

During the 1930s, British manufacturers popularised limed oak, a technique where a white pigment or lime compound was rubbed into the grain of pale oak to accentuate its natural texture while creating a distinctive lightened finish.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid European oak, utilising dovetail jointing for drawers and incorporating silvered mirror panels framed in oak, alongside turned or carved wooden handles.

Authentic Heals furniture from this era often retains a small inset ivory or bone disc carrying the makers mark, along with high-grade oak construction, smooth drawer runners, and signature limed finishes on geometric silhouettes.

Position the dressing table against a neutral or dark painted wall to contrast its pale finish, paired with subtle brass accessories and natural linen textiles to complement the tactile wood grain.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding harsh aerosol sprays or water-based cleaners that can erode the liming paste. Periodically apply a neutral wax polish to protect the timber without altering the original colour.
