The cabinet features a tiered upper gallery with carved cresting, originally designed to support a mirror (often removable, as seen here), a hallmark of Victorian washstands. The drawer fronts showcase bold relief carving, including a central sunburst medallion and scrolling foliate motifs, all framed by shaped moldings. The turned legs, paneled sides with vertical reeding, and scalloped apron further reinforce its Victorian pedigree with subtle Eastlake movement influence, emphasizing craftsmanship and geometric detail. The cabinet is fitted with original brass drawer pulls, adding to its historical integrity. Overall condition appears very good for its age, with minor surface wear. There are a few more noticeable marks at the bottom of the cabinet. Please see photos.

The size is 53.5”H X 34.25”W X 19”D.

Our pieces are vintage, antique, or previously owned furniture and decor. As such, they often show signs of age, use, or character—which we believe adds to their unique charm. We make every effort to describe items accurately and provide clear, detailed photos, but we encourage all buyers to review the images carefully and ask questions prior to purchase if you need further clarification.

Beauty and condition can be subjective, and while we strive to highlight both the strengths and any notable flaws, perfection isn’t always guaranteed with older or pre-loved item. See less
