Description from the seller
Wooden vanity with Louis XV style, featuring a fold-out mirror and drawers – mid-20th century
Description
Elegant antique wooden vanity with curved and refined lines inspired by Louis XV, probably dating from the mid-20th century, around 1940–1960.
The vanity rests on four slim, slightly curved feet. The belt (façade) features a pretty carved motif, notably floral patterns at the corners, as well as a central ornamentation. The front has two small functional drawers, each on a side and equipped with decorative metal handles. The central element of the front is decorative and does not constitute a functional drawer. The top opens to reveal several storage compartments and a fold-out mirror, allowing the piece to be quickly transformed into a true vanity. The mirror is held by four small gilded metal fittings.
When the top is closed, the piece presents a particularly elegant and discreet silhouette and can also be used as a small console or occasional table.
The vanity is in good overall condition for its age. It shows various signs of use and wear, notably on the top and certain parts of the wood. These marks are visible in the photographs and testify to its age.
