Dressing Glass
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Richard Colter
Made for Colter’s daughter, this dressing glass (14 in deep by 21 in. wide by 32 in. tall) was designed from plate No. 98 in Verna C. Salomonsky’s Masterpieces of Furniture (Dover Publications, 1974) and a picture of the same piece obtained from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The piece is made of satinwood and basswood, with a secondary wood of poplar, and features crotch walnut veneers and ebony and holly stringing and banding. The gold-leafed mirror frame was carved out of basswood. The finish is French polish.
