wood,
glass and
hardwood. Your living room may not be complete without an art nouveau bathroom vanity — find older editions for sale from the 19th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 20th Century. When you’re browsing for the right art nouveau bathroom vanity, those designed in
Art Nouveau and
Art Deco styles are of considerable interest. Many designers have produced at least one well-made art nouveau bathroom vanity over the years, but those crafted by
Thonet,
Camille Gauthier and
Carl Teichert Meissen are often thought to be among the most beautiful.
Vintage vanities trace back to the dressing tables of 18th-century France, where the poudreuse held powders and mirrors for a lady's toilette. The look later split in two: the gilded flourish of Art Deco and Louis XV, and the pared-back simplicity of the mid-century makeup vanity.
Styles to Know
Mid-century makeup vanities with slim tapered legs are seeing strong search interest, though Art Deco vanities with mirrored or lacquered finishes remain a popular choice for more formal bedrooms. A vintage mirror completes the piece if it doesn't already include one, and a vintage table lamp adds flattering light.
How to Choose the Right Vintage Vanity
A vanity works best near a window or another source of natural light, worth keeping in mind when planning where it will sit, and the knee-clearance height is worth checking against the stool you intend to pair with it. Each piece comes from a vetted 1stDibs seller, with era, designer and condition detailed. Backed by the 1stDibs Promise on every order.
