Perfume bottles and candles on vanity table

What to Place on Top?

Antique bottles, potpourris, scented waters, perfumes – there are hundreds of different ways in which to decorate dressing tables. In Victorian times the top was usually covered in muslin or lace and ladies put their silver combs and brush set on them.

Many women placed vintage perfume bottles and a silver comb and brush set like the Victorians. Kerosene lamps and candle-holders add a very distinctive Victorian touch to the dressing table and bedroom.

Skirting your vanity table also adds an elegant Victorian look, and allows you to match your vanity to the tone of your bedroom. A matching glass top provides protection for the fabric and the option to place photos of dear ones underneath..
