A brief history of the dressing table
The term "coiffeuse" (dressing table) appeared in the early 20th century, although the piece of furniture itself has existed since antiquity. Composed of a tabletop, one or more mirrors, and numerous drawers, the dressing table is a storage unit, but above all, a place for preparation where one applies makeup, perfumes oneself, and styles one's hair. While originally this furniture was used by both men and women, it quickly became the embodiment of feminine mystery. The dressing table could even feature secret compartments to hold intimate correspondence. Today, the dressing table is back in fashion and works wonderfully in all interior styles!
