Collectibles-General (Antiques) - Antique vanity


Expert: Fred Taylor - 8/10/2009

Question
Can you tell me anything about this vanity, I missed out on buying this one and would like any info about it so I can try and find another one. Thank you

Answer
Joellen - Vanities like that are said to be in the French style although most three mirror vanities were made in the US in the 1920s-1940s. The French style refers to the lack of pedestals with drawers. The top is supported by shaped legs. This one appears to be English and would sell at auction in the $100 range. Try looking in British import houses for another.
