Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

  • SizeH 162 cm (64 in) x W 50 cm (20 in) x D 25 cm (10 in)

This late 19th-century Victorian ship washstand is made from rich mahogany with a polished timber finish, featuring brass hinges and catches, round turned wooden handles on the lower cabinet doors, an integrated upper mirror frame, and a white ceramic basin with a pale cream glazed interior. The vertical structure incorporates a fold-down sink compartment with a tap and soap dishes, beaker and bottle storage shelves, a water tank underneath, and a lower storage cupboard. It measures 162 cm high, 50 cm wide, and 25 cm deep, extending to a depth of 52.5 cm when the sink is folded down. This compact maritime piece works well in a gentleman's library, a period-style bathroom, a hallway, or a bedroom as a functional decorative unit. The narrow vertical footprint allows it to fit into restricted spaces while providing multi-level storage and washing facilities. The traditional design suits period homes, nautical-themed interiors, and collection displays requiring authentic late 19th-century maritime furniture.

FAQs

A ship washstand is a specialised piece of maritime furniture designed for compact living quarters aboard 19th-century vessels, incorporating a washbasin, mirror, and storage within a space-saving cabinet.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany or teak to withstand damp sea air, alongside fitted ceramic or porcelain washbasins and brass hardware.

Authentic examples feature space-efficient fold-down or pull-out basin mechanisms, compact footprints, solid mahogany construction, and original ceramic or brass fittings suitable for shipboard use.

Position the piece as a statement vanity unit in a cloakroom or guest bathroom, or utilise its compact dimensions and storage in a hallway or bedroom.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft cloth and applying beeswax polish along the wood grain, ensuring water spills on the wooden surface are wiped away immediately.
