Condition: Original Vintage Condition Materials: Tiger Oak, Original Mirror, Brass Pulls Style: French Art Nouveau This early 1900s Art Nouveau–style gentleman’s shaving stand captures the charm of old-world daily rituals, when grooming was a slow, intentional moment built into the rhythm of the morning. Crafted in the United States from richly figured tiger oak, it features its original tilting mirror mounted on a cast-metal arm, allowing a man to angle the glass perfectly in natural light before indoor bathrooms were common. The upper drawers and lower shelves once held razors, brushes, soaps, and water bowls, reflecting a time when personal care stations were elegant pieces of furniture rather than fixtures attached to walls. Brass pulls and soft Art Nouveau curves give the stand a refined presence, blending beauty with the practical craftsmanship that defined early 20th-century life. It remains in original vintage condition, carrying with it the warm patina and nostalgic character of a bygone era. Fun Historical Fact: Before the rise of modern plumbing, grooming stands like this acted as a personal “bathroom corner,” offering a dedicated space for shaving, washing, and preparing for the day. The adjustable mirror was a luxury innovation, allowing men to catch the best light from nearby windows for a safer and closer shave. Tiger oak furniture...

This is an early Russian orthodox travelling Icon, hand made of bronze, which we date to 18th Century or earlier. The bronze icon is cast with a main rectangular slightly curved shape with a smaller rectangular tab section above. The reverse has a hanging spigot cast into the top tab section. This piece has a mix of colours within the bronze with the high points being worn and shiny from wear and use. This antique bronze icon probably depicts Saint Nicholas as the central image with other figures ( children?) either side of the head, all within a border. There are other details on the icon including letters and numbers towards the top of the main rectangle. The tab section is also decorated. The reverse also carries decoration but is quite worn. Overall an early and very interesting Russian bronze Icon...
