With a Queen Anne style shaped and curved top and matching mahogany veneers left and right. The frame is shaped with a single beading on the outside and a half round inside. The mirror is hand bevelled and held in place by 2 uprights which have a fluted section in the front and finish with 2 simple finials. The back of the mirror is polished with fielded panels. At the base there is a shaped upright and beneath this is a scooped out tray for jewelry or accessories. This continues in to the 2 trestle ends and the whole piece finishes on excellent Lorimer style pad feet which are low and squat.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
