About the Item

Important and spectacular French Art Deco vanity in beautifully figured thuya wood, attributed to Maurice Dufrène. Created in full burl wood with marquetry inlay, this vanity has the original beveled cheval mirror that slightly swivels, along with the original veined marble tops in light yellow, burnt umber, ochre and rouge. Two cabinet doors on either side of the vanity each open to reveal four spacious drawers that fill the interior space. Original nickeled bronze pull handles grip the doors and tassel pulls decorate the interior drawers. The ebonized inlaid design borders the top of each door and mimics drapery while the square inlay depicts a motif of stylized floral marquetry. The entity is supported by eight fluted bun feet. Besides being unique and very beautiful, this French vanity is extremely practical and functional with its full length mirror while also providing a lot of storage space. The depth varies from 15" at the ends to 17" max . The height of the table ends are 25 1/4". Can be used in any room setting and with any decor ex: Modernist, Moderne, Art Deco, Traditional, Scandinavian, French provincial, Beaux Arts, Victorian, English...
