Not limited to women's domains, even legendary jazz musician Louis Armstrong finds solace at his backstage dressing table during a London performance in 1962. The image captured by Brian Foskett reveals a moment of relaxation amidst the chaos of fame.

Meanwhile, Gordon Parks takes us on an emotional journey with his photographs depicting Mrs. Ella Watson's humble dresser in Washington D. C. , offering glimpses into everyday life during World War II. Religious objects adorn another bedroom dresser captured by Gordon Parks in 1942—symbolizing faith intertwined with personal spaces. These snapshots remind us that our surroundings reflect our beliefs and values. From Dante Gabriel Rossetti's portrayal of Aurelia—a mistress lost in thought—to Emile Jean-Horace Vernet's depiction of The Young Widow immersed in grief; these dressing tables become witnesses to human emotions and stories untold. Through these diverse images spanning centuries, we see more than just furniture; we glimpse fragments of lives lived—the pursuit of beauty or solace sought within the confines of one's private sanctuary—the timeless allure encapsulated within each dressing table throughout history.
