    Hi guys!
    My first post on here, as you can probably tell I have no idea when it comes to antiques.

    I have acquired this dressing table from a job I’ve been working on.

    It’s still in amazing condition.
    I do know that it is 50+ years old. But I would love to know more on this if you wonderful people could please help me!

    kind regards,

    jack

    It does look like something from G Plan. I just can’t find a picture of this anywhere online.

    does it have any value?

    Where are you located? It certainly has value - a lot of it depends where you are.
    I love it!!!

    Aha. OK, late 50s into early 60s. Probably a plastic veneer made to look like wood. These were sold by companies like G Plan and high street chains. It's loosely what's called Mid Century Modern - not vast value, but fun. Have a good look and see if it's got any labels or makrs.

    I can’t find any marks on it at all. Thank you for the information!
    Would you have a rough estimate of what I could possibly sell this for?

    Most welcome. Depends where you try to sell it, a fancy retro shop might ask a hundred quid. I'd try fifty to eighty, see where you go with that. Can you fix the wardrobe at all?

    Look like it could be German?

    I guess they copied the German trend then?

    I'm honestly not seeing anything wildly German about it. That plastic veneer was widely used here, and the legs are classic, to coin a phrase. It looks like may other pieces of its time. Especially the shape.
