Fine French Art Deco Thuya Wood Vanity w/ dressing mirror, Maurice Dufrène

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...

Very Long /Wide French Art Deco Silvered Wood, Nickeled Bronze + Brass Mirror
Located in New York City, NY
An original French Art Deco long, wide and rectangular, silver over wood wall mirror with slightly curved top, fluted sides and angular accents of nickel and brass. The highly decorative ziggurat, sky scraper, stylized representation on the bronze mounts flanking each side and center distinguish this highly imposing mirror. The mirror features an overall authentic geometric expression with a period mirror inset. The inset shows some very small age spots on the glass which add to the mirror's charm and character. Since we cannot photograph the mirror due to it's reflection, I would approximate a total of ~35 tiny desilvered spots ranging in size from 1/4" maximum on ~ 5 spots, to miniscule in size on the remaining dots. Slightly rubbed/ mottled finish on the nickeled over bronze mounts with a satin finish on the wood, as shown in pics. This mirror is meant to be hung horizontally, making it perfect for use above a console, mantel, fireplace, in a bedroom, over a cabinet, in a dining room, hallway...More mirrors, Floor Mirrors and Full-Length Mirrors, Girandoles, Mantel Mirrors and Fireplace Mirrors, Pier Mirrors and Console Mirrors...
