Design drawing titled "Toilet Table" rendered in pencil on trace. Perspective view of dressing table and attached mirror is shown. Toilet or dressing table has rectangular form; overhanging top; two drawers with bail handles on each side of central shallow panel; inlaid or painted bellflowers at top of square legs; and cylindircal feet. Rectangular mirror frame has concave top corners; carved ornament at top; and has two oval mirrors attached at sides. Design notes and "Hooper Oct. 7 - 1905" are handwritten on drawing. Drawing appears to be a working sketch: penciled changes to existing drawing include the addition of a third drawer on each side; eliminating the oval mirrors; and changing the center mirror to one with an arched crest.
