MebleinUK has dated this Victorian Mahogany Marble Washstand to the Victorian era.
The natural variation and veining within the stone give every part of the surface its own individual character.
The marble top sits above an elegant mahogany base with a distinctive architectural form. The curved central support features attractive carved scroll detailing, while the shaped lower platform and additional supports create a particularly elegant and well-balanced silhouette.
Originally designed as a Victorian washstand, pieces of this type were used in bedrooms before modern fitted bathrooms became commonplace, with the marble surface providing a practical area for a wash basin and water jug.
The combination of warm mahogany and naturally veined pale marble gives this piece considerable presence while remaining elegant and versatile.
Height to marble worktop: 74 cm
The washstand is in very good antique condition, remaining strong, stable and highly presentable.
The marble displays attractive natural veining together with minor age-related marks and variations expected from genuine antique stone. The mahogany has developed a rich, warm patina and shows signs of age and previous use consistent with a piece of this period.
