Vintage Dressing Table 1890s TAKEN


Recommended Posts

Solid wood dressing table with mirror. Label shows it was from Oetzmann & Co on the Harrow Road (and cost 26 shillings!). From style, I guess it is 1890s. Top and mirror need screwing on (there are holes for screws but I took them out so it would be easier to move).


Width 50cm, length 107cm, height without mirror 73.5cm, height with mirror 160cm


The varnish has been stripped, however, I sent a remaining bit on the back to a lab and found it contains low levels of lead (500ppm) which I guess would have penetrated into the wood. This is relatively low (home lead tests only test positive at 5000ppm and above) but I would advise painting it to seal in the lead and be safe.


Most furniture coatings up till the 1980s/1990s contain lead.


Collect from Crystal Palace Road, near North Cross Road.
