Peso Priced Item.  
Dressing stand, by Jorge Unna.  Beautiful marble tops, excellent original finish, the finials are all intact! A real treasure but time has come to move it out!  Originally $55,000 pesos, now reduced to half that amount! 
This was at one time the whole bedroom set, I included the photo of the manufacturers plaque from another piece in the original set.   
Now only this dressing stand (Tocador) and the matrimonial size bed remain.
So we are reducing the price 'drastically' to move it out!
The 'bed' is also on Clearance Sale, you can see it here in our website.

  -------------The story of the designer and manufacturer ----------------
Made by Jorge Unna (Gerson) & Cia.  in San Luis Potosi. (1889-1920).
His family were an immigrants to Mexico from Hungary in the mid 19th C..  it is said that Porfirio found him in Europe and encouraged him to relocate in order to provide quality furniture for Porfirio's homes.
This bedroom set was the most treasured possession of the 'Senorita' Ofelia Malo Aguilar (of SLP) meaning she was what some call an 'old maid'. The soltera who stayed home with mom and dad to care for them in their later years and gave up marriage and children.  Funny, but many of the "solteras" I have known in my time in Mexico always had an affinity to fancy bedrooms, bed covers, sheets, etc.. I guess the bedroom was their private place in their childhood home, passing their lives at 'home' with mom and dad .. Her initials (OMA) are beautifully displayed on the crest of the bed. 
In mint condition, this set was never refinished,  like new but 125+ years old. 
Dimensions upon request, the wood is known as 'cedro' in Spanish, Mexican Mahogany.   
There is a process to modify the headboard by splitting the footboard and adding the pieces to the headboard making it into a King size!
