Early dressing stands included a folding top, cistern, and a basin drawer for light bathing and removal of cosmetics. Their widespread use was normally reserved for society\u2019s elite. Both men and women enjoyed vanity tables. Men stored hair powders, razors, oils, and combs in them, while women used them to store cosmetics, perfumes, and hair accessories.<\/p>\n<h3>The 18th Century Toilet Table<\/h3>\n<p>Vanities were originally called toilet tables. They were used in the bathroom for general hygiene and included a wash basin beneath a fold down top. Over time, these tables became smaller and more delicate with elaborate drawers to keep beauty products tucked away when not in use.<\/p>\n<p>The creation of the vanity table and enhancements to its design really took shape throughout the 18<span style=\"font-size: 13.3333px;\">th\u00a0<\/span>century when members of high society focused on fashion with an increased desire to have grandiose furniture designed exclusively for their wardrobes and accessories. The design of a dressing table or vanity table could indicate the owner\u2019s status in society. Emblems displaying the owner\u2019s coat of arms were often featured at the top of each table corner.<\/p>\n<h3>The Pondreuse and Lowboy<\/h3>\n<p>Both the pondreuse and the lowboy served as inspiration for the vanity table. The pondreuse was popular in France in the 17th century. It had a small table for holding perfumes and make up with a drawer for storage.<\/p>\n<p>Lowboys were popular in England and the U.S. during the 18<span style=\"font-size: 13.3333px;\">th\u00a0<\/span>century. They were small with short legs and offered one to two\u00a0rows of drawers for storage. Lowboys were often custom-made, and had decorative elements like intricately carved legs and drawer handles.<\/p>\n<h3>The 19<span style=\"font-size: 15.6px;\">th\u00a0<\/span>Century Dressing Table<\/h3>\n<p>Dressing tables of the 19<span style=\"font-size: 13.3333px;\">th\u00a0<\/span>century were larger than their predecessors with the addition of several drawers and a mirror.
