About the Item

Condition: Original Vintage Condition Materials: Tiger Oak, Original Mirror, Brass Pulls Dimensions: Dimensions: 54.50”H x 35”W x 21”D Table Height: 30.25" This French Art Nouveau–style dressing desk showcases beautifully sculpted cabriole legs and a flowing silhouette that brings an elegant, organic presence to any interior. Crafted in the United States in the 1920s, it features richly figured tiger oak throughout, paired with its original heart-shaped mirror that adds both charm and character. The curved drawers and side compartments offer practical storage while emphasizing the craftsmanship and soft, nature-inspired lines that define the Art Nouveau movement. Original brass pulls complement the warm tones of the oak, giving the piece a refined yet romantic presence. Overall, it remains in original vintage condition, showing the graceful aging and authenticity expected from an early 20th-century masterpiece. Fun Historical Fact: The heart-shaped mirror reflects a playful twist on classic Art Nouveau design, which often drew inspiration from nature, movement, and the soft curvature of the human form. By the 1920s, American artisans were blending French stylistic influences with local materials like tiger oak to create unique interpretations of European decorative arts. Dressing desks like this were considered luxury pieces of their era, often given as cherished gifts for weddings, anniversaries, or coming-of-age celebrations.
