glass — can elevate any home. We have 141 antique and vintage metal vanity legs in-stock, while there are 41 modern editions to choose from as well. Metal vanity legs have been made for many years, and versions that date back to the 18th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 21st Century. Metal vanity legs made by
modern designers — as well as those associated with
mid-century modern — are very popular at 1stDibs. Many metal vanity legs are appealing in their simplicity, but
CPRN HOMOOD,
Ercole Home and
Jacques Adnet produced popular metal vanity legs 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.
