This came out of Avignon and dates to the 18th century, a provincial oak dressing table built at a time when personal rituals happened quietly, often in the corner of a bedroom rather than in front of a grand vanity. The construction is straightforward but considered, with cabriole legs, paneled sides, and a series of small drawers fitted with simple brass pulls. The top opens in sections to reveal hidden compartments and a mirror that would have been lifted into place for use, then folded back down to return the surface to a clean, closed state. The oak has lightened over time, with areas of wear across the top and edges where hands returned to the same places each day. Sylvie sets it in a bedroom as it was intended, opened in the morning, then closed again, holding everything just out of sight.
Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.
