This stunning Louis XV period poudreuse (dressing table or vanity table) by "Hache Fils a Genoble” is made of walnut with a contrasting dark trim. In the center a mirror slides forward to stand perpendicular to the piece. The piece has two drawers, a tierette, and a door that opens on top of either side for storage. While the left side is deeper with a dummy drawer on the front, the right side is more shallow with a real drawer below. The piece is dated "April 1775,” with a paper glued on the bottom interior of the right hand drawer to signify Hache as the creator.
