$5,985.0072.50"H x 64.25"W x 24.75"D
Dimensions: 72 ½” H x 64 ¼” W x 24 ¾” D
An extraordinary Dutch wardrobe made in the late Renaissance period, 18th century. This substantial antique work of storage furniture is all hand-crafted of solid oak, some panels with “tigering” that creates a rippled appearance in the wood to fascinate in any room for storage of linens, clothing, or household essentials. Two thick, paneled doors work in tandem by functioning lock and key to enclose the divided interior: the right door is fitted with the lock while the left door is secured by a forged iron slide bolt in the top. The doors open to reveal two fixed shelves per side, ranging from 13 ½” – 19 ¼” deep over a pair of shallow drawers in the base opening by turned wood knobs. It appears that a small hanging rod was once added to the right-side cabinet which has since been removed leaving the brackets in place to retrofit to one’s own unique needs and taste. One of the most distinguishing features of this piece are the ebonized, bun feet whose roundness and proportions are a delightful contrast to the geometry above. Gently cleaned and polished with a French paste wax, this antique storage cabinet is ready for your interior. We believe this to be in good antique condition considering its age, and any visible signs of wear are captured in the photos.

French 19th Century Mahogany Dressing Table
Dimensions: 46 1/8″ H x 36″ W x 16 3/4″ D
A rewarding beauty regiment begins with vanity. This French 19th century mahogany vanity, in fact! Equipped with a tilting circular mirror, this antique dressing table keeps all things cosmetic in one place. The marble top forgives spilled nail polish or a crotchety curling iron more readily than wood, making it ideal for make-up, while the backsplash keeps items from rolling off the table. A partitioned drawer is found in the apron, ready to store brushes, hair dryer, swabs, cotton balls, etc. The marble work surface is lifted by wonderfully turned front legs to a height of 28-¾” with leg clearance at 22-¾”H. An incurvated undertier shelf accommodates legroom and houses a porcelain bed chamber that can be pulled out separately from the dressing table. It has four beautifully turned legs that, along with those found on the table are capped in brass. Turned towel bars grace each of the table’s sides, positioning a washcloth within arms’ reach.
