The case features three spacious drawers framed by hand-lined decoration and original round pulls, flanked by rounded stiles with stenciled botanical ornament. Above, a mirror is crowned with an openwork crest carved with scrolling forms and a central foliate motif, lending the piece an architectural presence reminiscent of early 20th-century decorative interiors.

The surface has developed a deeply worn patina over time, with areas of paint loss and exposed ground across the top creating a naturally layered, almost painterly effect. It is the kind of surface that only decades of use can produce—honest, tactile, and visually compelling.

This is not a pristine example. It is a piece for someone who appreciates the beauty of age, the romance of wear, and the quiet depth that comes from objects that have truly lived.

A striking and character-filled piece equally suited to a bedroom, dressing room, or entry.

Circa early 20th century.

The mirror is currently removed for easy transport and is easy to put back on.

The drawers open smoothly.
