The wall/over the door mounted jewelry armoire is useful because it has a full length mirror which is the door of the armoire and it has another small mirror on the inside.

The inside mirror is for checking out the jewelry on you b\to make it easier to pick out which earring or necklace you wish to wear. When you have picked out the proper pieces and actually put them on, the full length mirror lets you check yourself out.

Opening the mirror door lets you see all your bling at one time.

The cleopatra beauty center was designed to replace the standard vanity mirror or dressing table. It is shaped like a lipstick mirror and available in a variety of upholstery finishes including denim (jeans), brocade and for the wild….faux leopard fur. It has a seat or stool that has wheels so that you can move it as close as you want to the swing down make up table. Well, my daughter has started storing shoes in the seat. Surprisingly, it holds many shoes.

Well, it wasn’t HSN or Joy Magnano that is certain.

David Bezborodko who founded Mechanical Mirror Works in 1942 (which later became Mirrotek International LLC), was making triple view mirrors, folding tripleview mirrors and dressing mirrors as early as 1950 and possibly in France pre-WWII. Here are some early ads for Dressing Mirrors and 4 panel mirrors, many of the stores mentioned are no longer in existence: Bamberger’s, Polsky’s, Foley’s, Gertz, Stern’s, Dayton’s, The Hingbee, and many more that no longer carry mirrors or wall furnishings.

Below are more catalogs dating from 1942 to the present of the original Professional Dressing Mirror, with 4 panel mirrors that fold to a regular door mirror. Starting in the 50s and 60s, MMW also added lights and vanity (table top) sizes. Proudly made in the U.S.A since 1942.
