Antique Victorian Washstand | 19th Century Marble Top & Floral Tile Back Hall Table

Описание: This antique Victorian washstand dates from the late 19th century and is a fine example of traditional English craftsmanship. With a satinwood and pine frame, turned legs, and a stretcher base, it is topped with a smooth white marble slab that has gently aged over more than a century. The tiled back features the original ornate floral ceramic panels in golden yellow, soft brown, and blue, with delicate crazing that reflects their authenticity. A wide drawer with brass shell handles and its original castors make this a practical as well as decorative piece.

The condition is consistent with age: the marble shows light marks, faint scratches and natural staining, while the tiles are full of character and the wood retains its warm antique patina. The drawer interior shows wear but remains strong and entirely usable.

Originally created as a washstand for use with jug and basin before indoor plumbing, this piece now offers countless decorative uses in a modern home. It can serve as a striking hallway table, an elegant bathroom stand for towels, or even a unique drinks cabinet or serving table. Its blend of wood, marble, and tile captures the Victorian love of natural materials and ornamental detailing, making it both functional and a statement of heritage.

Bring authentic 19th century design into your home with this characterful antique washstand – a piece that combines utility, beauty, and history.
