The Laureline Vanity Table
-
An Heirloom Restored from Obscurity
Discovered quietly in the back of a local thrift shop, The Laureline Vanity Table was nearly overlooked—its leg broken, its posture slumped. But beneath its injuries lay unmistakable grace. Dated April 23, 1934, the original mirror still bears the inscription of its time, an artifact of personal ritual from nearly a century ago.
This early 20th-century vanity has been thoughtfully restored to preserve its architectural beauty while ensuring structural integrity. The turned spindle legs, once fractured, have been meticulously repaired, and discreet support brackets were added beneath each foot to enhance stability without compromising the silhouette. The arched mirror is framed by rounded posts and subtle scrollwork, offering a quiet nod to the restrained elegance of 1930s design.
The flat top surface features gently rounded edges, softening its linear profile and adding a sense of tactile refinement. To elevate the piece, the drawer has been fitted with solid brass Merrick pulls by Armac Martin, a British hardware house renowned for its heritage craftsmanship and hand-finished detail. These additions bring a subtle touch of luxury that complements the vanity’s historical character without overpowering it.
Fluted carvings along the drawer front and legs add dimension and rhythm, while the warm-toned finish allows the natural grain of the wood to show through, a respectful preservation of both age and origin.
Whether styled as a dressing table in a primary bedroom, a refined writing desk, or a character-rich console in an entryway, The Laureline is more than utilitarian. It is a piece for aesthetes, designers, and collectors who understand the quiet luxury of things once lost and now lovingly restored.
