What can I do with a 1940 dressing table?

I hope someone can help me with ideas to either restore or do something with it. ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS?

If you can't figure out how to fix it, I would take it to a cabinet maker or furniture restorer. Check with some local antique stores or look in yellow pages, there are always old craftsman around who can fix/restore anything. What broke its hard to tell from your picture? did he forget to detach the mirror when he moved it?

I think a local repair person like a furniture restorer may be your best bet. OR and I know it may not be the direction you want to go, how about turning it into two lovely nightstands and attaching the mirror to a wall? It wouldn't be the same, but, still beautiful memories of your mom in a new form. I have a similar dressing table, and I've debated doing this as I downsize, since it is so large and heavy. Craftspeople can do amazing things with old furniture, so I hope you end up with what you want and need!

I would look on-line for better pictures of the 1940 dresser... before it was destroyed.... even go to a museum/ library to see if you could possibly find old photographs.... Then check in my opinion with a contractor who does customer or has custom work done... they will be the best possible source of information in the area where you are..... antique shops might also be a possible... this is a piece that should be kept for generation if possible, you can not find items that are made like this any more..... Good luck ,,, and I hope this will help out... Carol

this is what I found just searching the internet, there was also a walnut cabinet similar to yours ... I hope this helps a little ... Carol Bing, NY
