Description
This beautiful washstand exudes sophistication with its finely crafted wood and elegant marble top.
Reflecting Edwardian charm, the washstand showcases delicate inlaid detailing across its frontal surfaces, a testament to the artistry of the period, the intricate inlays, a common Edwardian design element. These inlays are usually made from different types of wood or occasionally other materials, forming geometric patterns, floral motifs, or decorative borders.
The smooth, cool marble top adds a touch of luxury and durability, perfect for decorative display or functional use. It features spacious drawers and a lower cupboard, providing ample storage, while brass accents add warmth and refinement. Ideal for a bathroom, bedroom, or hallway, this washstand is both a practical piece and a beautiful antique, capturing the understated elegance of the Edwardian era.
It is a beautifully crafted piece of antique furniture, characteristic of the late 19th to early 20th century.
There are quite a lot of these pieces of furniture from the Edwardian era about; however, the majority of them are poor imitations. This is made entirely of solid mahogany, whereas the majority of these washstands were made of mahogany but also lots of plywood with mahogany veneer.
Wonderful intact brass castors.
The top surface of the washstand is made from a solid slab of marble, giving it a luxurious, smooth, and durable finish. Marble was popular in Edwardian washstands for its water-resistant quality, often used in bathrooms or bedrooms.
The marble and the washstand base are actually what is known as a marriage. The washstand originally had a wooden top, which is still in situ underneath the marble. The marble top originally had an art nouveau splashback, and three screw holes have been filled, which were used for the attachment of said top. You can also see where the top was as the marble is slightly lighter having been protected from sun and other atmospheric elements.
This type of washstand would typically combine functionality with Edwardian elegance, featuring craftsmanship that highlights fine materials and intricate detailing. It would be ideal for someone seeking to add a vintage or antique touch to their home.
There are some historic worm holes underneath. These were redundant and have been for decades, but for your peace of mind, I have swamped the area with woodworm fluid.

Condition report:
The condition of both is very good there are a couple of minor nicks to the edges, which hardly really notice in the wider scheme of things. The wood is well preserved with just a few minor surface marks.
