Sheesham Dressing Table with Cane Fronted Drawers

Nothing here sits on anything. The whole piece is hung off two uprights and the gaps are on purpose.

The mirror is full length, the frame cut with a soft radius at the top corners and a long sweep into the bottom left, so the glass is asymmetric rather than a rectangle with rounded ends. It carries on two turned posts, capped in brass, and pivots on brass pins so you can tilt it.

To the left, a separate flat panel runs the full height, cut through with a circle at the top and a long slot below it holding a brass rod. Two small shelves cantilever off it on brass supports, held out into the air with nothing beneath them.

The lower unit is four drawers on two levels, and the levels are offset from each other, front to back. Two wide drawers face front with hand caned panels set into them. Two narrower ones sit to the right with brass line inlay in the timber instead. Brass knobs throughout. The top is a plain slab, split by a single brass line running its width.

Legs are turned and slim, sleeved in brass at the collar and again at the foot, so the metal picks up at both ends.

It wants a plain wall and daylight from the side. Against patterned wallpaper the cane, the inlay and the cutouts start competing and the piece stops making sense.

Brass will darken. Leave it or bring it back with a cloth, both are correct.
