You need to know who manufactured it. Look under, inside and on the back for identifying markings.
Love, love, love this piece!!! OMG!! The blue mirror glass and the amazing lines!!! WOW!
So what you have here is probably a 1930s art deco vanity. I think yours was painted and it was probably an oak or walnut wood (darker color) originally. It looks all chippy (which is why I say that--and that is not a negative term, just what people call it when someone paints over wood and it ages--in some circles "chippy" is why they fall in love with pieces!)
Anyhow...these are such cool pieces, but where I am they have very little value. That just kills me, because in the early 1980s these pieces sold really well for big bucks. Now kids want light (read crappy furniture that doesn't last) and these pieces have fallen out of favor.
That said, if you take it to a dealer or auction house you may find the right buyer for it and you could possibly fetch in the low hundreds for it (if you are in an area where there is still a high demand and small supply, maybe even more).
The clock and the blue glass mirror give this piece a huge WOW factor. If I am correct that it was painted, that will devalue it as a true collector will want it back to original and they will pay less because they will have to put the time into it to restore it.
There was a whole bedroom set sold with this piece (without the clock and blue glass), but same shape and style of the vanity and it only got $125 for all.
Like I said, your piece is a step above average so I would hope in the right setting you could get around that just for the piece.
Post back with an update!! Blessings. Thanks for sharing it!! I am such a deco fan!!
