Stylish Art Deco Dressing Table Asymmetrical Vanity Table
Description
K0671 An exceptional and highly architectural English Art Deco dressing table, having an original bevelled edge mirror with some foxing and imperfections, secured by minimalist brackets, creating a clean, modernist silhouette. The top features a spectacular quarter-bookmatched quilted maple veneers. All above two frieze drawers and a pedestal with three graduated drawers, all fitted with ebonised Bakelite handles with metal backplates. The dressing table is faced in quilted maple, which showcases a deep, shimmering, and three-dimensional grain pattern. The warm honey toned maple is beautifully anchored by a contrasting figured walnut borders and skyscraper base. Designed with both aesthetics and utility in mind, the asymmetric layout features a spacious kneehole opening.
*Bookmatching - four consecutively sliced sheets of premium quilted maple have been meticulously arranged and met in the centre to create a perfectly symmetrical, mirrored X-pattern. This precise technique amplifies the natural, undulating wave of the quilted wood grain, creating a stunning visual depth that catches the light and shifts dynamically depending on the viewing angle.
*Skyscraper base - this tiered plinth base utilises dramatic, geometric setbacks that mimic the iconic high-rise profiles of the era's grandest architecture.
Structurally sound with smooth-running drawers. Some age appropriate wear to the mirror silvering, minor dents, scratches and some historic repairs as expected with authentic period pieces. This piece is a striking example of the period's celebration of exotic timbers and structural form, it would grace any interior, blending seamlessly into both modern and traditional settings. All in home ready condition.
