Dressing table

Japanese: ドレッシング・テーブル(英語表記)dressing table
Dressing table
A table with a vanity mirror and drawers. Appearing in Europe in the late 17th century, vanity tables with drawers and a rotating mirror attached to the base were the first to become popular. In the 18th century, the structure and shape of vanity tables became more complex and elaborate. The mirror attached to the base was built into a drawer in the center of the table, and double-sided vanity tables with drawers with partitions on either side became popular. In late 18th century France, when salon culture was at its peak, a small vanity table called a poudreuse was designed for ladies.

化粧用の鏡と引出しを備えたテーブル。ヨーロッパでは17世紀後期に現れ,引出しを備えたテーブルの甲板に回転式鏡を取り付けた形式がまず流行した。18世紀になると,化粧テーブルの構造と形態は複雑かつ精巧になった。甲板の上に取り付けられた鏡はテーブル中央の引出しのなかに組み込まれ,その左右に仕切壁付き引出しを備えた両袖式化粧テーブルが流行した。サロン文化が隆盛を極めた18世紀後期フランスでは,プードルーズpoudreuseとよぶ小型の化粧テーブルが貴婦人用に設計された。
