Incredible Mahogany Louis Philippe Vanity Dresser



King Louis Philippe, the embattled king of France was known to his subjects as the “bourgeois king,” for his tendency to avoid the pomp and ceremony of previous rulers. He dressed in the clothes of the common man. During his reign, the legitimacy of his throne was constantly in question, after Napoleon decimated the monarchy. The furniture that bears the name of Louis Philippe is similar to that of Louis XV, yet simpler in taste and ornament. The smooth lines common to the earlier Louis are found in abundance. Round bases often replace cabriole legs. Raised paneling is more common. This incredible vanity is a beautiful, yet unusual example of this style. Made from the finest mahogany you will ever see, this piece personifies elegance. The first thing you will notice about this piece is the large beveled mirror. This clear mirror is flowing and gorgeous. The marble countertop is extraordinary; quarried in Belgium, this piece of marble is of a select strain that is no longer available on the open market. With four large dovetailed drawers, this piece would be the perfect chest of drawers for your master bedroom. This piece will instantly find a place in your heart.
