Vintage 1960s Meredew Vanity Stand Dressing Table

We don’t acquire many small vanity stands – more often, midcentury dressing tables are wide, large pieces – so we were charmed instantly by this one.  Produced by British maker, Meredew, and dating from the 1960s, it’s a super mix of midcentury and traditional in design. Its base is a compact, small, three drawer dresser sitting on neat legs. On top sits a generous mirror, not framed as such but with a feature wood border. The mirror can be angled back and forth to get the angle and illumination just right. If you wished to remove the mirror this is easily unscrewed leaving you with a smart chest of drawers. The exterior wood looks exceptional having been carefully restored with the richly striped patina brought back to its former glory.

Description

This original, vintage piece is ‘sold as seen’. It is in very good, used condition. We have checked and cleaned the piece inside and out. The exterior surfaces – the top, sides and drawer fronts – have been restored. This involved careful removal of the old finish, oil and then a wax polish. As part of this restoration three small holes were filled and disguised on the left hand side panel – please refer to our photo. The three drawers are well-made, slide easily on their runners, have securely attached original, brass pull handles and have clean, tidy interiors. The handles are a little tarnished with age but this minimal. There are very light scuffs and knocks on the external wood, but following restoration these are minimal. The mirror can be angled back and forth by pulling gently at the bottom. All hinges and fittings are in good, working order. If you wished to remove the mirror and use as a chest of drawers, the upright brackets can be easily unscrewed. Sadly no Meredew label but this is an easily verified and attributed design of theirs. It’s stable and solid, well-made and with no signs of repair, and dates from the 1960s. Please do browse through our numerous photos for a good sense of its great condition. If you have any queries or would like to view then do get in touch.
