A wonderful and functional Edwardian mahogany dressing chest with an adjustable shield‑shaped mirror. The bevel‑edged mirror is fully adjustable in both height and angle, supported on nicely turned columns with brass fittings.
The fold‑out top provides generous surface space, with a bank of three graduated drawers below, each retaining its attractive brass handles. The lower section houses a good‑sized cupboard with a removable shelf, and the whole stands on a stylish plinth base. Good grain, colour and patina throughout, with wear commensurate with age.
The piece was sourced in Oxford, and during cleaning and polishing a charming discovery was made: a handwritten love letter, with a poem on the reverse, tucked beneath one of the drawers — written on headed Magdalen College paper no less. Little finds like this are part of what makes antique furniture so endlessly fascinating.
