Neoclassical Pearl White Dressing Table
At OE-FASHION Furniture, we engineer the Neoclassical Pearl White Dressing Table as a complex assembly of curved planes and structural columns. Unlike rectilinear cabinetry, this piece follows a “Serpentine” or “Violin” profile, requiring advanced thermal bending of the substrate to achieve the fluid side elevations suitable for high-end master bedroom suites.
Aesthetic Structure & Proportions
The vanity is defined by its “Mixed Metal” finishing strategy. The tapered column shafts are finished in gold leaf, providing vertical warmth, while the intricate Corinthian-style capitals and bases are finished in antique silver. This contrasting metallisation highlights the tectonic separation between support and load. The drawer fronts feature a low-relief “Quilted Diamond” texture, adding tactile depth that contrasts with the smooth glass top.
Construction Logic & Material Behaviour
The curvilinear carcass is constructed from multi-ply bentwood, ensuring the curves remain stable without splitting. The top surface is protected by a shaped pane of 8mm tempered glass, which sits atop a decorative textile or textured inlay.
- Mirror Engineering: The massive oval mirror (approx. 1400mm width) features a sandblasted or acid-etched “Vine and Leaf” border, illuminated by ambient light. It is mounted via heavy-duty architectural clips that align with the table’s vertical axis.
- Columnar Supports: The four legs are solid beech cores, turned and fluted before receiving their gesso base and metal leaf application. They are dowelled into the plinth base for maximum shear resistance.
- Drawer Mechanics: Despite the curved drawer fronts, the internal boxes are rectilinear to accommodate standard drawer runners (Blum Tandem), ensuring smooth, soft-close operation.
Functional Integration
The unit is designed with a central “knee-hole” bridge, flanked by two storage pedestals. This configuration provides ergonomic clearance for the user while maximizing storage for cosmetics and accessories. The matching low-back stool is upholstered in pearlescent leather or velvet, featuring a roll-top backrest that allows it to be tucked completely under the table when not in use.
Bespoke Manufacturing (OEM / ODM)
OE-FASHION Furniture operates as a technical manufacturing partner for interior designers.
- Finish Customisation: The dual-tone metallics can be simplified to mono-tone (All Gold or All Silver) depending on the room’s hardware schedule.
- Top Inlay: The material under the glass can be customised (e.g., silk, leather, or wallpaper match) to integrate with wall treatments.
- Mirror Sizing: The mirror frame can be scaled down for smaller alcoves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the glass top removable?
A: Yes. The tempered glass floats on silicone bumpers, allowing it to be lifted for cleaning or to change the decorative inlay material underneath.
Q: What is the texture on the drawers?
A: It is a pressed relief pattern (Quilted Diamond) finished in the same pearl lacquer, designed to simulate the look of upholstered leather without the fragility.
Q: Does the mirror require electrical wiring?
A: The etched design shown reflects ambient light. However, we can integrate back-lighting (LED) behind the mirror glass upon request for a “halo” effect.
