<meta charset="UTF-8" /><meta charset="UTF-8" />Men's dressing table in mahogany veneer. It opens with a drop leaf revealing a mirror and a white marble shelf, and a large wig drawer at the waist. Beautiful chased and mercury-gilt bronze trim, with amusing bronze figures of cupids under a palm tree (exotic for a naval officer?). Parisian manufacture mounted on oak, Directoire or Empire period, late 18th century, early 19th century.
The men's dressing table differs from the women's model by a single large drop leaf revealing a mirror and generally a wide marble top, while the women's model opens with three drop leaves, revealing compartments for ointments and brushes on either side of the central mirror.
An elegant model, our dressing table features an interesting mechanism with a rail-mounted drop-leaf that allows the mirror to be moved forward or further away from the user's face and left open upon request. This table is to a dressing table what the Tronchin table is to a writing table.
Beautiful model in excellent condition. The french polish has been redone by our cabinetmaker; it is smooth and clean. No damage or missing veneer.
