This 1920s limed oak dressing table designed by Betty Joel exemplifies her approach. It has an upholstered hinged stool which can tucked in when not in use, various sizes of drawers, and an adjustable circular mirror. With its paleness, shape, and curves it is possible to imagine it the bedrooms or dressing rooms of the more glamorous characters in Persephone novels by Dorothy Whipple and Lettice Cooper.
