Donald Deskey Art Deco Vanity + Stool & Mirror in Highly Figured Avodire 1940s
About the Item
Extraordinary vanity table with mirror and stool crafted from highly figured ribbon Avodire wood. Created by the Holland Furniture Company in the 1940s.

This set was acquired from the original owners and is absolutely amazing. The simple design effortlessly bridges the gap between Art Deco and Postwar Modernism.
