Cherry Wood Vanity Appraisal

Vintage Cherry Wood Dressing Table with Mirror

This item is a vintage dressing table, or vanity, constructed primarily of cherry wood with a warm, dark reddish-brown staining. The piece features a central kneehole design flanked by two pedestals, each containing three vertically stacked drawers with simple turned wooden knobs. Two additional small storage drawers are elevated on the tabletop surface, positioned at the base of the mirror supports. The vanity is crowned by a large, rectangular swivel mirror held between two elegant, S-curved 'wishbone' style wooden brackets with scroll-work tops. The overall construction suggests an early to mid-20th-century production, possibly a revival of colonial or Chippendale styles given the scalloped apron beneath the central drawer area. Physically, the piece shows significant evidence of use and age, including numerous scuffs, paint transfers, and minor abrasions along the front edges of the drawers and the base of the pedestals. There is a noticeable level of patina on the wooden knobs. No prominent maker's marks are visible in the primary image, but the craftsmanship is characteristic of mass-produced American bedroom furniture from the 1930s-1950s. The piece currently serves as a display for various antiques, including figurines, carnival glass, and textiles. A price tag on the mirror identifies it as 'Antique Cherry' with a listed price of $350.
