COIFFEUSE (DRESSING TABLE)
Such elegant, elaborately-crafted and finely-inlaid "de luxe" furniture in the style of Louis XV or Louis XVI was very popular at the end of the 19th century. Furniture made by famous cabinetmakers such as Paul Sormani can be used as a comparison for the coiffeuse on offer. For example, the mirror top resembles that of a coiffeuse sold at Christie's Auction (Cf. Christie's New York, The Opulent Eye, 18 November 2014, Lot No. 244). A similarly-designed coiffeuse by an anonymous ebenist, with the same distinctive upper section with a pivotable mirror and similar marquetry, was likewise sold at Christie's (Cf. Christie's London, The Opulent Eye, 20 September 2012, Lot No. 52).
