An assortment of bathroom vanities is available at 1stDibs. The range of distinct bathroom vanities — often made from
wood,
glass and
metal — can elevate any home. There are 1943 antique and vintage bathroom vanities for sale at 1stDibs, while we also have 117 modern editions to choose from as well. There are all kinds of bathroom vanities available, from those produced as long ago as the 18th Century to those made as recently as the 21st Century. Bathroom vanities made by
Mid-Century Modern designers — as well as those associated with
Art Deco — are very popular at 1stDibs. Many bathroom vanities are appealing in their simplicity, but
Bodafors,
Carl Malmsten and
Arne Vodder produced popular bathroom vanities that are worth a look.
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.
