Snowdon of Rochdale, an English furniture maker who operated between 1876 and 1886. This makes the piece over 140 years old, a true rarity in the antique market. Constructed from solid mahogany, this dressing table boasts rich, warm tones and a beautiful grain pattern. It showcases classic late Victorian design, featuring original brass handles with intricate geometric detailing, elegant turned supports, and a beautifully framed mirror with decorative finials. The symmetrical raised side compartments provide additional storage while enhancing its distinctive character. The tabletop shows visible signs of use, which is expected for an antique of this age. However, a deep restoration is not recommended, as it would significantly reduce its historical and collector's value. Instead, the current patina and wear add authenticity, making it an extraordinary find for serious collectors and enthusiasts of high-quality Victorian furniture. 🔹 Why This Dressing Table? ✔ Extremely rare – W.
