A beautiful French mahogany vanity crafted by Maison Krieger (Paris, fl. 1826-1910) circa the end of the 19th century. Tastefully hand-carved and gilt foliate details and finely cast ormolu drawer pulls. Drawer locks are impressed "MON. KRIEGER AMEUBLEMENT PARIS". Includes its matching side chair. Maison Krieger was a significant creator of fine furnishings in the 19th century, which first rose to prominence at Paris's 1849 Exposition des Produits de l'Industrie. The house was noted as a favorite client of legendary ebiniste Francois Linke in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The vanity measures 64" x 45 1/2" x 25 1/2", and the side chair measures 34 3/4" x 17" x 18 3/4". Mild general wear and patina indicative of age. Light scratching to the top surface. One minor wood split near the crest of the mirror. Two minor wood splits to the back of the top deck drawers, not of structural concern and not visible from the front or sides. The chair has a glued leg and no cane seat.
