Before there were jewelry armoires there were only jewelry boxes. There was a number of them, but they really couldn’t hold the quantity and variation of costume jewelry that women have today.

Powell, a furniture importer either conceived of the idea or purchased an overseas designed jewelry armoire to retail for over $500. The Powell jewelry armoire which was sold in the late 1980’s had drawers and doors which opened from the side.

The Powell jewelry armoire was so popular that it immediately was copied in many variations. Mechanical Mirror Works, Inc. designed one of all mirrors, doors and drawers.

At about the same time a cheval mirror was introduced with the mirror portion opening up for storage (undefined).

QVC began importing a cheval mirror with a door, but the insides were designed for jewelry storage as a jewelry armoire. This QVC designed jewelry armoire with its mirror door and jewelry storage features inside sold more than 300,000 pieces at prices varying from $145 to $175.

Mirrotek seeing a need for a jewelry armoire with a mirrored full length door designed and is presently manufacturing a piece to hang over the door, saving a great deal of space and priced to be competitive with the imported from China piece. It is made in New Jersey and proves that American manufacturers can be competitive with their Chinese counterparts.

The Mirrotek mirrored jewelry armoire is priced to sell at $119.
