Another toilet for a lady’s dressing-room is thus described: “The glass, made to come forward with folding Hinges, is in a carved frame, and stands in a compartment that rests upon a plinth, between which are small drawers. The drapery is supported by Cupids, and the Petticoat goes behind the Feet of the Table, which looks better. The ornamental parts may be gilt in burnished gold or Japanned. A China case in the Chinese style, may be of soft wood and Japanned, or painted and partly gilt.” A china case “very proper for a lady’s dressing-room may be made of any soft wood and Japanned any colour.” Chippendale’s convenient shaving-tables, and basin-stands, dressing-boxes and all other furniture for the dressing-room with their folding glasses and compact arrangement of drawers and partitions, prove that many years before Sheraton’s time there was a demand in England for such articles. Clothes-presses, wardrobes, chests, etc., also show that in Chippendale’s book nearly every article of furniture for every kind of a room is to be found. One of his shaving-tables has rigid, simple lines, very like Sheraton, with “a folding top and a glass to rise out with a spring catch.” “There are places for soap, razors, bottles,” and there is a device “to bring the glass forward when the gentleman is shaving.” With it is a bason stand with a glass to rise on the shaving table. Three other bason stands are merely frames for the bason to stand in. The bookcase received a great deal of attention from Chippendale. The “Gothic Library Bookcase,” a good example of which is shown on Plate XXXIX., seems to be one of his favourite types. Others he describes as “a rich Gothic Library Book-Case, with Gothic columns fix’d upon the doors to open with them; the doors are different, but may be made alike if required. This design is perhaps one of the best of its kind and would give me great pleasure to see it executed, as I doubt not of its making an exceeding genteel and grand appearance. The upper doors are to be glazed.” Again we have “a Desk and Book Case in the Chinese taste: the doors are intended for glass, and will look extremely well. The small columns on the canopy above the cornice project forwards. The fret-work at the bottom of the Book-Case is for two small drawers.” There is also “a small desk and Book Case in the Gothic taste.”
