About the Item

French 19th century faux bamboo carved pine vanity, offering daily inspiration in the organic forms and artistic ingenuity during the Aesthetic Movement of the late 1800s. Functioning like a washstand, the chest of drawers is topped with a marble surface (32 ½” H) above which is the dressing mirror suspended from a pair of amazing supports carved and turned to mimic the nodes of real bamboo. Four drawers in the chest–outlined in the same faux bamboo trim as elsewhere–offer storage for clothes, cosmetics, or linens. No key is present. Cleaned, tightened and polished with a French paste wax, this unique vanity is ready for your interior. Please note that a crack in the marble backsplash has been repaired, view the detailed images to see more.
