Presenting a gloriously rare 19th century French Napoleon III rare ladies make-up table or vanity.
Not many of these exceptional tables have survived and even fewer with the quality of this one!
Made circa 1860 during the Reign of Emperor Napoleon III.
Made of ebony, with inlaid brass, ormolu mounts, light walnut inlay, abalone and mother of pearl.
The top is simply gorgeous!
It has a barley twist design on the border, consisting of inlaid brass, light walnut, abalone and mother of pearl.
The central medallion is similarly inlaid and has an un-engraved brass armorial plaque.
The edge of the top is ormolu brass with indented decoration and it has curved corners.
The top lifts to reveal a mirror on the rear side of the lid (the original mirror encased in ormolu frame).
The interior is walnut. The lock, clasp and hinges are of the highest quality with floral engraving.
The front drawer pulls forward and has a re-moveable walnut tray for make-up accessories.
The central drawer has it’s original escutcheon.
The top of each leg has a star shaped ormolu mount and the turned legs extend downwards to an ormolu disc on the top, wreath swags inserted ion all sides of the fluted legs.
The legs are supported by a double ‘U’ shaped central support that meetes in the middle with a cast brass ormolu lidded urn as it’s center piece.
The piece has some minor condition issues due to it;s age and delicacy. The top has evidence of ‘cracking’ to the ebony veneer but no losses. There are some minor losses of the brass inlay but nothing significant. Some of the brass stringing on the front drawer and sides has been replaced by stained wood. The piece is slightly unsteady when opened due to the weight of the mirror and lid (especially with no weight of items in the drawer). This is probably the reason why so few of these have survived. They would fall over if not counterbalanced by weight inside the table/drawer.
This item includes restricted materials and cannot be sold outside of the contiguous United States.
