At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal vintage bathroom table for your home. Frequently made of
wood,
glass and
mirror, every vintage bathroom table was constructed with great care. Whether you’re looking for an older or newer vintage bathroom table, there are earlier versions available from the 20th Century and newer variations made as recently as the 20th Century. A vintage bathroom table made by
Mid-Century Modern designers — as well as those associated with
Art Deco — is very popular. You’ll likely find more than one vintage bathroom table that is appealing in its simplicity, but
Bodafors,
Carl Malmsten and
Gio Ponti produced versions 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.
