      With the raised edge across the back, I wonder if this originally had a mirror attached. If so, it may have been a "dressing table". Check the back for signs of mirror attachment.

      You're right..looks like a mirror could have been attached..it must have been a vanity. There's a patent number on back.."280,"
      Someone wrote in marker "171-280". What would this style be called? Maybe 1950s?

      I believe this is Federal Style. The drawer pulls are characteristic as well as the curved front.
      I hope that helps you.
      It's beautiful no matter how you use it!
