Description
A 19th century English mahogany bow-front corner dressing stand with concealed backsplash of large circular profile hinged to the top that pulls up and latches into place over doors above shallow drawers, raised on three square splayed legs joined by lower shelf.
Measures 53.5 x 31 x 22 inches.
Provenance: The estate of John Adair Jr. (1942-2025), founder and proprietor of Kurofune Antiques, Tokyo (est. 1978). A world-renowned destination for Japanese basketry, prints and furniture, Kurofune was a landmark destination featured in The New York Times, The New Yorker, and The Wall Street Journal.
Please be aware that this lot is too large to ship by conventional carrier such as UPS, USPS or FedEx and will instead require local pick-up, delivery by a freight carrier or delivery by a blanket-wrap shipper. The cost most likely will not be low.
