Description from the seller
This elegant vintage vanity from the 1920s/30s features a refined kidney-shaped top in pink marble, framed by a gold metal edge that evokes the structure of the upper tilt mirror. The piece is embellished with a generous white fabric skirt with ruffles, which hides the lower shelves in white lacquered wood and gives the whole a romantic, old-world look.
Dimensions: 130x84x54 cm
Considering that this is a piece from the 1920s, the vanity presents general condition consistent with its era. The pink marble top and the gilded metal frame show signs of wear and superficial patina due to the passage of time. Specifically, there are some bloomings (fioriture) and oxidation on the mirror surface and along the edges of the gilded frame, elements that testify to the piece’s originality. The fabric forming the skirt appears intact, though it may show typical aging signs of period textile fibers. Chips on the glass. The wooden structure also shows defects compatible with long-term use, as seen in the photos. **Please observe the photographs carefully as they are an integral part of the description.
**Given the dimensions, in-person pickup is preferable; we are about an hour from Milan. Available to provide a quote for national and international shipping. Tracked shipping including secure packaging; any duties and customs taxes will be borne by the buyer. It is possible to pick up the nightstands directly on site.
