Coiffeuse - Mahogany, Wood

A very elegant and distinctive antique Victorian dressing table, in Great Britain specifically known as a 'Duchess' dressing table. This type of furniture in the second half of the 19th century was the ultimate status symbol for the bedroom and is made of warm mahogany. The dressing table features a large, centrally placed make-up mirror in a gracefully carved frame. On either side of the mirror there are two elevated nests with three small drawers each, ideal for jewelry and cosmetics. Directly beneath the mirror is another practical central drawer. Together with the large drawer in the serpentine tabletop, this piece offers exceptionally ample storage space. All drawers glide smoothly. The whole rests at the front on heavy, beautifully turned wooden legs that converge at the bottom into a broad, elegantly curved base plate. This gives the piece its iconic and regal appearance. Condition: The furniture is in good, functional condition. Over the years the wood has developed a beautiful patina and shows some charming signs of aging that suit the age and history of the object. See the photos for a full and detailed impression. Note: For pickup only due to size. The buyer must pick up the dressing table themselves (or via a carrier) in Dirkshorn, municipality of Schagen, in the Netherlands.
