A bedroom is not complete without furniture that combines function with character, and this satinwood dressing table is a fine example of just that. With its tilting mirror and compact proportions, it provides both practicality and style, making it a useful addition to a traditional or period-inspired setting. The dressing table is fitted with an adjustable bevelled mirror framed by simple supports and topped with an ornate carved crest. Below sit four graduating drawers, each retaining its original embossed brass handles. A small maker’s plaque is fixed inside the top drawer, marked “PROVL. PAT. NO. 36004/20,” adding a touch of historical interest. The piece stands on turned front feet and a shaped lower apron, giving it a pleasing balance and elegant silhouette. The height in brackets is the height of the worksurface. The previous finish has been carefully stripped back, and multiple coats of hard-wearing matte lacquer have been applied. This process enhances the warm tones and natural grain of the satinwood while providing a durable finish. Some age-related imperfections remain, including watermarks on the top surface and visible wear to the front-left foot that can be seen in the accompanying pictures. The drawer bases and back panel are made from plywood, while the rest of the piece is constructed from satinwood. Blending decorative detail with practical storage, this satinwood dressing table is a charming and useful piece that would bring character and function to any bedroom.[dimensions][w]84[/w][h]173(108)[/h][d]43[/d][/dimensions]
