The Skater Von - Antique Mirrored Display Shelf

Meet The Skater Von, a dashing little character who’s seen more candlelit corridors than most of us have had hot dinners. Born around 1900, this scratch-built mirrored shelf is a rare survivor of the kind of functional flair that once adorned Edwardian homes. It was his worn olive velvet balding in places like a gentleman of a certain age that caught my eye.

Von’s charm lies in his imperfections, the slightly wonky craftsmanship, the patina of age, and the beveled mirrors that still catch the light with extra depth. The long drop chains suggest he once hung proudly in a hallway or perhaps a dressing room, reflecting the comings and goings of the last couple of century's. Despite his years, Von remains sturdy and ready to showcase your curiosities, whether it’s a collection of vintage perfume bottles or your most eclectic knick-knacks.

This is a one of a kind piece, there’s only one Von, and once he’s gone, he’s gone. Perfect for adding a touch of historical intrigue to a small room, bathroom, or hallway. If you’re the sort who appreciates the stories etched into every scratch and scuff, Von’s your man.
