Rare form Victorian faux bamboo birdseye maple vanity and
chair. The mirror has a spindled top with an unusual lattice work middle
and four round finials. It has an original beveled mirror. The sides of
the mirror are extensively decorated and feature a quarter round shelf.
The base has a long drawer and two smaller ones underneath with original bar
pulls. The drawers, mirror and panels are all bordered by a quarter round
faux bamboo turning. The chair has an upholstered seat (old fabric). There
is a slight stain on the right side of the top surface. This style was
inspired by the Japanese style and was popularized by R.J. Horner & Company, NYC.
This piece is unsigned but we attribute it to that famous firm. A very similar vanity is shown on page 140 of "Masterpieces of American
Furniture from the Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute."
This is a
fabulous example of this furniture genre! Circa: 1880
Dimensions: 65"H x 42.5"W x 20"D (vanity) 31"H x 20"W (chair)
Finish: Good original finish and patina
Price: $7950.00 for both pieces
