This Maple Triple Mirror Vanity Desk, by Northern Furniture Company of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, reached the market in 1920. The company’s mark, Northern Furniture Company of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, inside a shield, is burned into the sidewall of one of the drawers.
The unique styling of the intricately turned legs, stretcher and mirror posts is a signature feature of the Northern Furniture Company line offered in 1920, as evidenced by the display of its furniture accompanying the Company’s announcement of its line in the December, 1920 edition of the Grand Rapids Furniture record.
The vanity desk has five drawers with dovetail joinery. The two deep drawers have brass bat-wing and bail handle pulls. The center and two side top drawers have filigreed brass mushroom pulls.
The triple mirror frame assembly is fastened to the vanity desk proper in a manner obviating the need for separate bracketry. The center mirror is capped with a broken-neck design and finial pediment.
This is a vanity desk from the start of the roaring twenties in mint condition. It is a great fit for a bedroom with a retro roaring twenties' décor.
H: 63”, W: 40”, D: 18 ½” Circa 1920
