Antique Carved Vanity Dressing Table with Tri-Fold Mirror and Stool

This is an antique wooden vanity dressing table, characterized by its ornate carvings and a distinctive tri-fold mirror. The piece appears to be constructed from a dark-stained hardwood, likely oak or mahogany, given its grain and color, which has developed a rich patina over time. It features a central vanity section with a circular recessed area, presumably for a matching stool (a wooden stool top is visible within this recess), flanked by two drawer pedestals. Each pedestal has three drawers, adorned with decorative metal pull handles. The top drawer of each pedestal features intricate carved garland or swag motifs, indicating a classical or early 20th-century aesthetic. The overall construction exhibits quality craftsmanship with visible joinery and detailed carving. The legs of the pedestals are carved into stylistic paw or claw feet, adding to its elaborate design. The vanity is topped with a grand tri-fold mirror assembly; the central mirror is the largest, with a highly decorative, carved crest featuring rococo or Baroque-inspired elements such as scrolls and foliate designs. The two smaller side mirrors are also carved and articulated to fold inwards, suggesting they provide different viewing angles. There are no obvious signs of major damage or repairs from the image, but typical age-related wear, such as minor scratches, dings, and surface variations consistent with an antique item, would be expected. The mirror glass appears to be in good condition, reflecting the room clearly. This style of vanity with extensive carving and a tri-fold mirror was popular in the late Victorian or Edwardian periods, placing its estimated age between the late 19th century and early 20th century.
