“This decorative mahogany antique dressing table is a super example of Victorian extravagance, dating from around 1870 it is a great quality piece. It has a moulded tilting mirror with elegant upright supports above a beautifully shaped top having two small mahogany lined jewellery drawers and moulded edges. A delightfully shaped central frieze drawer sits below the top, again it is mahogany lined and has the original turned handles. The piece sits on elegant scrolled carved front legs with a shaped lower base. This antique dressing table is part of a matching set, its compliment being the marble top wash stand.”
