Blog 7: Martele Dressing Table and Stool , 1899


William C. Codman (American, born England, 1839-1921)
Gorham Manufacturing Company
(American, active 1831-present)
Providence, Rhode Island
Silver, glass, fabric and ivory

I absolutely love this piece.  It's incredibly elegant and looks like it belonged to someone of very high status.  I can respect furniture like this because it's a piece that has very a specific purpose and that would be for someone to spend time on making themselves look great.

  1. I really like that vanity and chair too. I wish I could have that piece in my bedroom. That would be amazing.
