    I saw this at our ReStore. The mirror is about 54” across and fully round. The cabinet is about 24” high. There’s no sign of legs. It looks maybe 1920s. There’s plywood backing the mirror and the whole thing looks veneered. 20230508_110900_Original.jpeg 20230508_110927_Original.jpeg 20230508_110900_Original.jpeg 20230508_110927_Original.jpeg

    1930s "waterfall" design? Is the base a single piece or 3? How does the mirror attach?

    From the photos, I think that the mirror sets on both levels of the top surfaces, making it much taller that it appears. The lower surface makes it look small. Not for a child.

    Adult waterfall vanity. Could be as late as the 40s.

    I agree, a regular size vanity, and waterfall. Very nice.
    I have one Art Deco vanity that is even lower. Another is a bit bigger than this one, but not much.

    Is it just me or does that mirror look like it does not belong with that vanity? It's leaning against the vanity and a total different collored wooden frame.

    It's not just you. The two don't go together.

    The mirror was dismounted from the cabinet. It had the 1x2 vertical slats that mount it to the back of the cabinet. The mirror is a full circle from what I can tell.

    If the mirror is a full circle, it doesn't belong on that. My mother had a waterfall bedroom set similar to this and the mirror had the same finish and fit the vanity perfectly
