Pair of Biedermeier Chairs, Baltic States 1810-20
Biedermeier Walnut Desk, Vienna 1820
By the 1930’s the art deco movement was in full swing, and with it came big changes to the vanity table.
Norman Bel Geddes’ enamel and chrome-plated steel dressing table (1932) is also part of this show.
Jean Harlow’s boudoir in the 1933 film “Dinner at Eight” helped create the archetype for the vanity you probably pictured at the beginning–the one with the great lighting and plush chair.
In the 1970’s furniture designers had begun to experiment wildly with different shapes and materials for vanity tables.
At the start of the 2000’s contemporary vanity tables with futuristic designs showed up on the scene.
As explored in a 2013 exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, these vanities — known by the French as a poudreuse (from poudre, or powder) and "lowboys" in England — took Europe by storm.
And, it's one of her dressing tables that received a special spotlight at the 2013 Met exhibit.
