Camden Antiques has dated this piece to the 1920s.
It is fitted with its original beveled glass plates; it can be removed from the table if desired. The top of the mirror is surmounted by a crisply carved crest.
The table itself has a lovely serpentine shape to the front and an elegant curved back. It is finished all round so could be free standing within a room if desired. There is an arrangement of one long central drawer (embellished with a carved crest) flanked by two shorter end drawers each fitted with their original brass handles. The top surface of the table is fitted with an inset glass top. The whole table stands on strong and elegant cabriole legs with decorative carvings to the knees and feet.
We have had this lovely table sympathetically cleaned and waxed in our workshops. It now has a wonderful colour and patina. It is offered for sale in overall excellent condition, ready to go straight into the home.

The Hille furniture company was started in the East End of London in 1906 by Salamon Hille, a Russian emigrant, to renovate and reproduce eighteenth century furniture. The focus of the business was very much quality rather than large volumes, employing skilled craftsmen and gaining customers such as Hamptons, a well known furniture store, amongst others. By the 1930’s the company had established an international reputation supplying products all over the world. Salamon's daughter, Ray, subsequently joined and worked with the company to produce furniture to original designs. In 1932, Salamon retired and Ray took over the reigns of the business with Hille becoming a Limited company that year under her leadership.
