Antique Edwardian Oak Dressing Table | Swing Mirror

1900 - 1920
For Sale by ActFurniture LTD
Description

Antique early 20th century Edwardian dressing table in oak, a handsome and well-proportioned piece of good quality, showcasing fine craftsmanship and elegant, clean lines.

The rectangular swing mirror is held between a pair of tapering square supports topped with turned acorn finials and fitted with brass ring-headed adjusting screws, and sits on a low back rail carved with a central oval roundel.

Below, the top is beautifully quarter veneered in a diamond pattern with a small inlaid centre lozenge, protected by a fitted glass panel within a moulded edge. A single full-width frieze drawer is fitted with an oval brass plate handle with a swing bail, and the table stands on elegant square tapering legs.

The oak displays a stunning figured grain, with the lighter veneered top contrasting beautifully against the warm, rich colour and mellow patina of the frame.

Presented in good condition commensurate with age. With comfortable knee room beneath the drawer it also works perfectly as a small writing desk. A very desirable oak dressing table of neat proportions, a perfect addition to any bedroom or dressing room.

Edwardian dressing tables typically date from 1901 to 1910 and feature restrained geometric forms, square tapered legs, and integrated swing mirrors. This era favoured lighter or mid-toned woods like oak and mahogany, moving away from heavy Victorian ornamentation.

Edwardian furniture often utilised English oak timber and traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery. Drawers were typically constructed with hand-cut dovetail joints and fitted with brass or cast-iron hardware.

Authentic Edwardian pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetailing inside drawer boxes, original bevelled or plate glass mirrors with minor silvering wear, and period-correct swivel hardware on the mirror supports.

An Edwardian dressing table can function as a hallway console table or a compact home office writing desk. Pairing the piece with clean contemporary ceramics or a neutral table lamp balances the dark oak finish.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft lint-free cloth and apply high-grade beeswax polish once or twice annually following the wood grain. Avoid placement near direct heat sources or damp environments to prevent timber movement.
