Presenting a truly magnificent and exceptionally rare French Art Deco Metamorphic Dressing Table, dating from circa 1930. This is an unparalleled example of high-style European Art Deco furniture, embodying the movement's focus on streamlined silhouettes, exotic veneers, and functional artistry.
This dressing table is crafted from breathtaking olivewood, renowned for its dramatic, highly figured grain that flows seamlessly across the curved surfaces. The lustrous, deep finish highlights the natural beauty and complexity of the veneer, making it a spectacular focal point for any bedroom or dressing room.
Key Features
Period: Circa 1930 (French Art Deco).
Wood: Stunning, highly figured Olivewood veneer.
Metamorphic Design: The innovative, flowing, and sculptural form incorporates a rounded, pull-out or swing-out mechanism (typical of metamorphic designs) that cleverly integrates the storage and seating, maximizing both utility and visual impact.
Circular Mirror: Features a large, original circular mirror, perfectly complementing the curved architecture of the piece. 
Storage: The design includes integral storage, typically comprising drawers and/or shelved compartments on the side cabinet, all executed with Art Deco's characteristic geometric precision.
Stool: The accompanying fitted stool has been professionally reupholstered with a new cushion and high-quality, period-appropriate fabric (as pictured), ensuring immediate comfort and elegance for the new owner.
Dimensions 
Height: 112 cm
Width (at its widest point once fully retracted : 175 cm
Depth: 75 cm
Summary
This Art Deco dressing table is more than just furniture; it is a museum-quality artifact and a superb investment in design history. Its sophisticated shape, luxurious olivewood veneer, and functional 'metamorphic' arrangement represent the pinnacle of 1930s luxury.
Although this has been professionally refinished, please expect a small level of age related wear.

"I don’t like to match furniture and love mish mash, quirky and odd looking things lol. I absolutely love them. My house is 203 years old and is grade II listed. I think it makes an old cottage come alive and puts a modern twist on it. I love furniture that tells a story or gets people talking at a house party".
