Gloria Vanderbilt’s Dressing Table (2023)

Gloria Vanderbilt’s two-bedroom apartment in Manhattan has recently been featured on The World of Interiors: photos by Annie Schlechter and words by Vanderbilt’s son, Anderson Cooper, walk the reader through furniture and accessories of a place where the American artist, designer and writer lived for 23 years.

On the small table on the left there’s a Cyprès candle by Rigaud.

The first thing one notices on her vanity is the massive bottle of Worth Dans la Nuit: made of frosted blue-stained glass and decorated by raised stars, it was made by Lalique in 1924. This is an early issue of the bottle, as we can see from the stopper, described as “a disc with an eclipsed moon of crystal-polished glass in bas-relief against a cobalt-stained sky filled with raised, crystal-polished stars”. This stopper stopped being produced in the 1930s because of an allegation of trademark infringment, so the later versions feature the eclipsed moon only.

Dans la Nuit is a floral fragrance created by Maurice Blanchet.

Next to Dans la Nuit there’s a bottle of Outremer Pêche eau de toilette.

The third non-decorative bottle is Robert Piguet Fracas extrait. This tuberose triumph was created by Germaine Cellier and first launched in 1948.

Dans la Nuit is not the only Worth perfume on this table: there’s also a big empty bottle of Je Reviens eau de cologne.

The last product I can see is the round tin box of Smith’s Rosebud salve.
