Description:

This is a fine quality antique English Art Deco pedestal dressing table, constructed in fine burr walnut timbers, comprising two pedestals, with internal drawers, circa 1930, in excellent original condition.  The Art Deco dressing table is constructed from fabulous mirror-matched burr walnut timbers, with a comprehensive fitted interior.  The Art Deco pedestal dressing table boasts a large circular adjustable mirror, flanked by a cloud-shaped upstand, with a sunken bow fronted central mirrored-well and bow fronted drawer and arched back panel.  The Art Deco dressing table features cupboards either side, which open to reveal three drawers, retaining the original metal Art Deco handles, all constructed with mahogany drawer linings and hand-dovetailed joints.  The cupboard doors retain the original wooden handles. The dressing table stands on its original recessed burr-walnut plinths.  The mirror can be removed for easy access to the bedroom.

This Art Deco pedestal dressing table boasts classic Art Deco styling throughout; this is visible in the mirror-matched burr walnut veneers, shaped plinths, clean lines and the materials used.  It is rare to see large fine quality bedroom suites, such as this one, still in existence today.

History of Art Deco Furniture:

Art Deco, sometimes referred to as Deco, is a style of visual arts, architecture and design that first appeared in France just before World War I.  It influenced the design of buildings, furniture, jewellery, fashion, cars, cinemas, trains, ocean liners, and everyday objects such as radios and vacuum cleaners.  It took its name, short for Arts Décoratifs, from the Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes (International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts) held in Paris in 1925.  Art Deco combined modern styles with fine craftsmanship and rich materials. During its heyday, it represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress.
