<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 273493, member: 37"]Would think English or Continental and 1930s-40s, though some similar were made into the 50s. Occasionally see these low dressers with low mirrors. Not very useful by today's standards and I am not sure exactly how they were intended to be used. As mentioned, you can't exactly pull a chair up to them. Just conjecture, but perhaps meant for small bedrooms. Could see having the ability to sit on the side of a bed and be able to see yourself in that mirror. Not terribly valuable and value is really going to depend on location. Your use of the word tip makes me think you are probably in the UK. Being in the States, I don't have knowledge of that market. What I have gathered from others here is that this kind of thing probably has more value over here than there. Here, I could see this being just shy a couple hundred at retail in a nice shop. 1/3 to 1/2 that at auction or in other wholesale situations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
