English Oak 1941/42 Dressing Table with Mirror By Brand Utility
Hastings, East Sussex
£178
Description
The piece we believe to be a 1941/42 Dressing table by Brand Utility in an oak. This was a government scheme in the 40's to produce affordable clothes and furniture in the UK.
The wood has a beautiful cherry tone against the Metal handles and has a visually interesting grain through the middle drawer.
It is a sturdy functional piece, has a tilting mirror, although with the age there is some degrading/rusting to the tilting joint that will need some attention to get the desired angle and has good depth to the drawers for storage, with the two smaller drawers for makeup etc to either side of the resessed top. This section also has a thin shelf for display items.
The pieces measures:
Height with Mirror 145cm, Height of Base 74.5. Width 99cm, Depth including handles 47.5. The surface measures 23cm for each rise with small drawer and the reses is 53cm wide, with a height for base to top of reses 56cm. The drawers are 18.5cm deep.
For its age it is in good sturdy condition. The piece is a mix of solid and vaneered oak, some small areas of age to the veneer areas and the metail hinge to tilt the mirror has rust and will need lubrication to move freely to tilt mirror. This will be removed for transport and place in the one of the top drawers.
