Art Deco Smoked Beveled Mirrored Vanity with Silvered Bronze Pulls

This elegant Art Deco Smoked Beveled Mirrored Vanity with Silvered Bronze Pulls originated in the United States, circa 1940. Composed as a kneehole dressing table with twin pedestals and a central recessed knee space, the case presents stacked drawers whose fronts are framed with stepped, scalloped mirror mouldings and a top surface of smoked glass finished with precision beveling that catches and softens reflected light. A vertically reeded mirror apron and faceted corner pilasters give the composition a rhythmic profile while contributing dimensional depth to the case. The arrangement of reflected planes and linear moldings establishes a strong geometric rhythm while allowing the smoked finish to temper overall brightness. The drawer hardware is silvered bronze, each knob a round embossed floral medallion set on a turned boss that evokes classical inspiration and provides a warm metallic counterpoint to the glass surfaces. Mirrored cladding is mounted to an underlying wood carcass that rests on a dark plinth base, creating a thoughtful contrast between luminous planes and a grounded support and reinforcing the piece's sculptural presence in a room. It remains. The piece is in very good vintage condition.
