French Lift Top Dressing Table with Marquetry

Lovely quality French 1920's mahogany and marquetry dressing table with lift top mirror.

Originally known as a "coiffeuse" as they were pieces used for doing ones hair or wig work...more typically used as ladies dressing tables these days!

Beautifully made and finished with marquetry to the top, inlaid to the sides and also with its original brass mounts.

You can lift the top centre section to open up the mirror, the left and right siders also open to give you further deep storage and there are also drawers.

The centre drawer opens with an additional leather and gilt tooled slide for further surface space.

Great decorative piece, but very practical too if you are looking to put your dressing table in a window, but don't want to block light with a fixed mirror.

Measuring:

29 3/4’’ or 75.5cm high 45’’ or 114.5cm when the mirror is lifted

29 1/2’’ or 75cm wide 47 1/2’’ or 120cm when the sides are both opened

17 1/4’’ or 44cm deep

The kneehole area:

22 3/4’’ or 58cm high

12’’ or 30.5cm wide
