an early gordon russell dressing table

This dressing table is made of English oak and consists of two sets of three drawers with a tall and swivelling mirror in between. The drawers have shaped oak handles and cedar linings and they sit on a base with a moulded edge, chamfered aprons and six octagonal legs. Exposed dovetails and pegs show the influence of the Cotswold School at this early period of Gordon Russell's career.

Beneath the upper right hand drawer is a paper label. It reads: 'This piece of furniture design No. 552 was made throughout in The Russell Workshops Broadway, Worcestershire. Designer: Gordon Russell. Foreman: Edgar Turner. Cabinet Maker: H.J.Mann. Timber Used: English oak and Cedar. Date: 10/12/26'.
