A separate toilet mirror would have been placed on the table when used as a dressing table and when the mirror was not needed, the table would have been used as a writing or side table.
In superb original condition - with truly excellent patination and well developed colour. This dressing table is a very fine collector's piece and would retail in a London dealership for more than £6,000.
