An original early 20th Century French marble top wash stand. We acquired this from a private buyer that purchased the piece in an antique store in Paris, whilst living there. It is a large piece of impressive scale and with many touches of quality. The weight of the piece, together with the quality of the inlaid veneer and the original brass ware all point to an expensive item when new. It would date to around 1910-20’s. Produced from a mixture of fruit and satinwood it has many fine touches of veneer work – including the central octagonal door centre pieces and the border work to the doors and drawers. With heavy weight original brassware displaying reed and ribbon pattern to the drawer handles and also the lower door drop handles. A beautiful piece that would not have to be used as a wash stand or in a bathroom. It would equally make a beautiful hall table, living room sideboard etc. The rear upstand easily removes by four screws if you prefer a simpler finish to the top to give it more of a sideboard/ console table look.
With storage in two drawers and a deep bottom cupboard (removal or height adjustable shelf) it offers plenty of very useful and stylish storage.
Dimensions:
131.5cm High (top of rear upstand), 102cm High (marble top), 111.5cm Max width, 52.5cm Max Depth

Read moreEarly 20th Century Wash stand Chest of Drawers in Oak
£0FREE Shipping on this item. More remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
A simply stunning Edwardian was stand with marble top. The wash stand is unusual to contain a full chest of drawers and cupboard below and dates from around 1910-20. The more common wash stands were simply tables with marble tops. This exceptional example is made from beautifully grained oak, dating from around 1910-20. The oak framework and rear upstand have subtle, classic and beautiful hand carving work to them. A reflection that the piece was a handmade quality piece when new. The grain and colour of the oak have aged beautifully. The marble top has only one small ‘nibble’ around 2cm to the front left corner. The drawers and cupboard at the bottom are exceptionally clean and offer lots of really useful storage.
We adore the style, the colouring, the grain of the wood, the beautiful drop handles, and the original brass towel holders to both ends. All of this sat atop the original brass castors. We rarely see better wash stands than this. Just beautiful!
This chest will look perfect in almost any room you choose. It’s a real keeper!
Dimensions: 92cm High (to top of rear upstand), 97cm Wide (towel rail to towel rail), 43.5cm Deep (marble top)
