Dressing tables are personal pieces of furniture, designed to combine everyday practicality with considered design. Traditionally used in bedrooms or dressing areas, they often serve multiple purposes, functioning equally well as vanity tables or compact writing desks.

At Orchid, our collection of dressing tables includes both antique and contemporary designs, all handmade in China using traditional techniques. Crafted from solid wood and often finished in hand-applied lacquer, these pieces are valued for their refined proportions, smooth surfaces and lasting quality. Lacquered finishes allow colour and depth to become part of the design, adding character while remaining easy to live with.

Our dressing tables are chosen for their versatility. While rooted in traditional forms, they sit comfortably within a wide range of interiors, from cottages and period homes to Georgian properties and more modern, minimal spaces. Used as a dressing table, vanity table or small desk, each piece is designed to feel settled within the room rather than purely functional.

Practical storage is an important feature, with drawers offering space for everyday essentials while keeping surfaces clear and calm. Whether placed in a bedroom, dressing room or quiet corner of a living space, our dressing tables balance craftsmanship, simplicity and adaptability.
