Hollywood Regency Gilt Metal Rope-Tied Mirrored Vanity with Chair on Casters
Glamorous Italian-style gilt metal vanity with mirrored surface and attachable mirror manufactured by Townhome Originals (ca. 1970s, California, USA).
Vanity has been paired with a matching, diminutive, gilt-metal vanity chair on casters (manufacturer unknown).
Elegant rope-tied details on mirror and vanity almost giving the frame a bamboo-like aesthetic.
Mirrored surface shows a smattering of scratches, and there are minor scuffs to the metal frame, as shown; otherwise, the piece is in very good, vintage condition retaining the original gilt.
The chair upholstery shows wear to both seat and back, but can be used as is with these imperfections. The casters are a recent addition, though of the same vintage.
The mirror can be removed from the vanity and hung on the wall if preferred.
