Neoclassical Ebony Dressing Table
At OE-FASHION Furniture, the dressing table is conceptualised as a piece of functional architecture that bridges the gap between cabinetry and sculpture. The Neoclassical Ebony Dressing Table utilises a twin-pedestal configuration to provide structural stability while maximising legroom, a critical ergonomic factor in bespoke interior projects.
Aesthetic Structure & Proportions
The design relies on high-contrast materiality. The deep, absorbent black of the Ebony veneer is juxtaposed against the reflective brilliance of the gold-finished hardware and diamond parquetry. This visual tension creates a focal point in the luxury bedroom, anchoring the wall elevation with the accompanying arched mirror.
Construction Logic & Material Behaviour
The drawer casings are suspended on sculptural legs, which act as the primary load-bearing elements. These legs are not carved from wood, which can be fragile at this curvature, but are cast from a brass alloy or high-density composite to ensure they can support the cantilevered weight of the cabinet.
- Marquetry: The drawer fronts feature a geometric “diamond” lattice inlay. This parquetry is laser-cut from contrasting maple and walnut veneers, then sealed under a poured polyester lacquer to create a perfectly flat, glass-like surface.
- Mirror Integration: The large arched mirror is framed in matching dark wood with cast floral mounts at the corners. It is designed to be wall-hung independently, allowing for adjustable height positioning relative to the table.
- Vanity Chair: The accompanying seat is engineered with a low centre of gravity to prevent tipping. It features deep button tufting for lumbar support and a heavy bullion fringe to conceal the base mechanism. View our textile options for upholstery specifications.
Functional Integration & Ergonomics
The table top is protected by a 6mm tempered glass overlay or a high-gloss lacquer finish resistant to cosmetic solvents (acetone/perfume). The drawers utilise push-to-open or concealed handle mechanisms to maintain the uninterrupted visual rhythm of the marquetry pattern.
Installation & Project Constraints
Wall Reinforcement: The mirror unit is heavy (approx. 35kg) and requires a structural wall or plywood reinforcement behind the drywall for secure hanging. The table itself is freestanding but should be levelled on site using the adjustable feet integrated into the cast legs.
Bespoke Manufacturing (OEM / ODM)
OE-FASHION Furniture serves as a technical partner for high-end residential developments.
- Veneer Matching: We can substitute Ebony for Rosewood or Walnut to match existing wardrobe joinery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the chair included?
A: The vanity chair is specified separately as it requires its own fabric selection, but it is designed to perfectly match the table’s height.
Q: How resistant is the top to makeup stains?
A: The high-gloss polyester finish is non-porous and chemically resistant, allowing standard makeup and perfumes to be wiped off without staining.
Q: Can the mirror be attached to the table instead of the wall?
A: We can engineer vertical support struts to attach the mirror to the back of the cabinet if wall mounting is not possible (e.g., in front of a window).
