Red Lion Furniture Art Deco Polished Wood Vanity with Five-Panel Mirror and Matching Hassock

This is a quintessential Art Deco era vanity suite, likely manufactured by the Red Lion Furniture Company circa 1930s-1940s. The piece features a dramatic, large-scale five-panel vertical mirror system that creates a semi-hexagonal backdrop, mounted on a dark-stained polished wood base. The woodwork showcases a deep mahogany or walnut finish with prominent wood grain, characterized by soft, curved 'waterfall' edges typical of the period. The central desk portion includes a bow-front drawer flanked by side compartments, all adorned with distinctive oversized circular metallic pulls in a silver or nickel finish. The accompanying hassock (stool) is circular with a tan upholstered top and matching dark wood tapered legs that integrate into the stool's frame. In terms of condition, the silvering on the mirrors appears largely intact based on the reflection quality, though some age-related ghosting or foxing may be present at the edges. The wood surfaces show a high-gloss patina with minor surface scratches and light wear consistent with residential use. The hassock's fabric shows slight displacement and potential fading, suggesting it may be original or an older reupholstery. The craftsmanship is indicative of high-quality mid-century American mass production, emphasizing geometric symmetry and the glamour of the machine age.
