An antique French kingwood Louis XV style serpentine fronted dressing table, with raised mirrored back bearing Rococo style candelabra, brass ormolu mounts, inlaid marquetry decoration, single drawer and cabriole legs with X-shaped stretcher bearing an ornamental brass urn. The lock to drawer inscribed Pretot & Cie. Width 115cm, height 165cm, depth 57cm.
In our opinion this is a mid-19th century piece, which is further supported by the lock marked Pretot. Several areas of missing veneer. Top surface is slightly faded, and has a small area of water damage. The brass beneath the top but above the drawer is missing a few pins and is therefore loose in places. No key.
Several worm holes visible to reverse and centre of stretcher, but no extensive damage. Height to table 81.5cm
Plastic electrical mount behind one sconce.
