Fine and rare Queen Anne period walnut dressing glass; the original shaped and bevelled plate contained in a conforming bolection-moulded frame surmounted by a shaped cresting.
The base formed as a miniature bureau containing six concave-fronted drawers and a central cupboard flanked by pilasters with gilded Corinthian capitals; the lower drawer with a shaped front enclosing two lidded boxes, a number of variously-sized compartments and a secret drawer.
All of the richly figured walnut with chevron bandings.
The shaped cresting reflects the elaborate ladies head-dress of the early eighteenth century.
Two similar examples are illustrated in The Dictionary of English Furniture (Volume 2)
