About the Item

A stunning example of early American mission-style furniture. This piece is created from Tiger Oak and features three low drawers with a locking mechanism. The top is solid oak often referred to as "Tiger Oak" named after the grain in the wood that resembles tiger stripes. The solid oak top would be fantastic for displaying perfumes or nighttime essentials. Each of the four legs have casters making it easy to move the piece. The mirror is beveled and original to the piece. At the back, the swivel mirror has locks that can be moved to hold the mirror in place. The joints in each of the drawers are dovetailed or "bow-tie". Interestingly, this piece came with a handwritten note from the family of the first owner which gives its purchase date and the city in which it resided. 1900, Independance Kansas. This early American mission-style piece would be fabulous for use as a vanity or dresser. Or perhaps even in an entryway or mudroom for holding keys and other items. The back also features a tag from: Schmitt & Henry MFG. Co. Dimensions: 41" Wide 21" Deep 28.5" Tall at Chest 71.5" Tall at the Top of the Mirror

Antique Two-Tier Cane and Scorched Bamboo Tiger Wood Side Table with Storage Top

Antique Two-Tier Cane and Scorched Bamboo Tiger Wood Side Table with Storage Top

Located in Oklahoma City, OK

Antique Victorian Aesthetic movement two-tier scorched bamboo and cane tigerwood side table or occasional table with box storage on top. Bamboo occasional tables like this, are a cult favorite among those in the design circle as well as discerning collectors across the globe. Evoking a tropical or British Colonial vibe, these tables are rare to find, and always a classic timeless piece for just about any room in the home. You'll find this classic bamboo side table while flipping through the pages of nearly every design magazine. Understated, perhaps because of it’s size, it packs a big punch. It serves as both form and function with two areas for storage. Both a hidden box, as well as a bottom open shelf. Born in the 19th century, this piece is created out of bamboo. Other terms used to describe this type of material and finish, are scorched bamboo or tortoiseshell bamboo or tiger bamboo. This particular piece is square in form and has four legs. The top of the table is square and features a box with a liftable lid for storage. Fastened with a hinge, it is a great way to hide little things that make a space feel cluttered. (TV remotes, reading glasses, etc.) When closed, the top functions as a normal tabletop. We envision a beautiful vase sitting atop a stack of well-loved books. Under the top of the table, sits a second open tier shelf for additional storage. Again, we think this would be a great way to showcase a stack of your favorite books or a small bowl of fresh flowers. Both the top of the table, and the sides are covered in what is sometimes called rice matt. It's more of a woven fiber much like cane or wicker, and can often be mistaken for grasscloth. This piece would be fabulous if used in a number of ways: 1.) Our dear friend suggested using this as her "smoking box". With the inside holding the items she wouldn't necessarily want in view, but in a convenient enough place to quickly grab things should she need/want to. 2.) Entry table: To eliminate the mess of setting keys and sunglasses on a table, we think this small table box would be a great place to set keys and sunglasses inside, and then closed, to set a purse on top of. 3.) Patio: A lovely plant stand between two patio chairs...
