About the Item

Refined 19th-century French vanity table in ebonized walnut, adorned with fine gilt bronze mounts in the Napoleon III style. The deep black finish, achieved through the ebonizing of walnut wood, beautifully contrasts with the ornate gilt bronze appliqués and elegant cabriole legs. The serpentine-shaped top, framed with a gilt bronze trim, opens to reveal a fitted compartment lined with polished walnut and a mirror inside the lid. The table still retains its original working lock and key, a charming and rare detail that adds to its authenticity and value. Combining functionality and Parisian elegance, this petite dressing table embodies the sophistication of the Second Empire period. Its harmonious proportions, refined ornamentation, and ebonized finish make it an exceptional accent piece — perfect as a vanity, side table, or decorative writing desk in a classic or eclectic interior.
