Georgian Mahogany and Boxwood Inlaid Gentlemans Washstand, Late 18th Century (George Iii, Folding Top, Mirror, Tambour Cabinet, Commode)

A George III Mahogany and Boxwood Inlaid Washstand, Late 18th Century

A fine George III period mahogany washstand, inlaid with boxwood stringing and displaying a warm, well-developed patina. The folding top opens to reveal an inset, retractable mirror and a fitted interior. Below lies a tambour-fronted section, shaped apron, and pull-out commode compartment, all supported on elegant square chamfered legs. The piece exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and discreet utility characteristic of late 18th-century English furniture design.

Compact and well-proportioned, this washstand would make a handsome addition to both period and contemporary interiors, serving equally well as a bedside, occasional, or decorative piece.

Dimensions (Approximate):

Height: 86.25 cm (34")

Width: 45.75 cm (18")

Condition:

The washstand is in good condition for its age, structurally sound and complete. The mahogany displays a rich colour and attractive patina, with boxwood inlay intact.

As with all antique furniture, wear and signs of age are consistent with its history and contribute to its character.
