Description
We kindly suggest that you read the entire description, as with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our objects.
Particular French walnut wooden dressing table in the Napoleon III style; the upper top has a rectangular shape and is surrounded by an elegant gilt bronze band elegantly decorated; it is hinged so that it can rise perpendicularly to the cabinet, inside it has a mirror; the particularity of the top is its inlay work: beautiful geometric decorations, with different shades of exotic woods, enclose a detailed inlay depicting flowers, leaves and ribbons, an exceptional ensemble with a fantastic color effect. The four legs at the top have a classic saber shape and are joined together by a rectangular top, also with floral inlays, which, in addition to its practical and aesthetic function, makes the toilet solidly stable; at the bottom, the legs have the sinuous "cabriole" shape. The faux drawer under the top is divided into comfortable deep compartments; on each front leg are placed two curly gilt bronze decorations and also a small one at the end of the legs themselves. This work of art was created by a true Master cabinetmaker in a perfect and meticulous manner between 1850 and 1855 in a craft workshop in the city of Nantes, located in the Loire region, famous for the production of fine furniture during the 18th and 19th centuries, the furniture produced in Nantes was known for its elegant style and use of fine woods. The Master achieved an object of amazing finesse, the rigor of design, sharpness, and regularity. The Masters had a lot of freedom to create the decorative pattern they liked best. For this reason, each inlay is unique. The colors of the inlay changed depending on the essence, cut, and grain of the wood. These factors, in fact, made the refraction of light on the surface vary. The inlay technique, therefore, is very complicated only the most skilled Master cabinetmakers were able to do such difficult work. Its right dimensions, symmetry, balance of proportions, and precious inlays make our piece of furniture a valuable and versatile object that can be placed without difficulty in any type of environment. The object is in good condition. Measures width cm.57, depth cm.39, height cm.73. For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (custom-made wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the objects.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
