A beautiful survivor from the late 19th century, this Antique Wash Stand features a solid wood case topped with natural marble, combining early American practicality with timeless elegance. The warm wood grain contrasts gracefully with the cool veining of the marble surface, once used for water basins and daily wash rituals.
Original details such as the porcelain knob pulls and hand-cut drawer dovetails highlight the craftsmanship of the period. The rear corners of the marble top retain small openings where a backsplash once sat — a subtle reminder of its authentic 1800s origin and utilitarian past.
