French Lift Top Marquetry Dressing Table

Very decorative and super quality French louis xv style kingwood and marquetry lift top dressing table, with mirror and good storage, circa 1920

Certainly the best example I have had of this style of dressing table, fantastic colouring throughout, lovely as a decor piece, but so useful if you need to place your dressing table in front of a window and don't want to block light, or to have it free standing.

There are some old repairs, nothing major and some of which I am having tidied up, so the condition is certainly good throughout. All original and complete.

The centre section is hinged, lifts to reveal a further hinged mirror that you can use as is, or tilt forward...left and right there is further storage for bottles / larger items...drawer space and also a central slide for further surface area.

Very well made and very unusual.

Measuring:

28 1/2'' or 72cm high

31 1/2'' or 80cm wide

18 3/4'' or 48cm deep

When the mirror is up 45 1/2'' total height

When the sides are open 50'' or 127cm width

There is 21 1/2'' or 55cm height in the kneehole area, under the desk
