The shaped serpentine shelf fronts and decorative fan-form gallery give the otherwise airy construction a distinctly Victorian character.

Measuring only 16.75 inches wide, this is an exceptionally easy antique to place. Use it beside a freestanding tub for towels and apothecary jars, in a sunroom for plants and ceramics, or in a guest bedroom with books, flowers, and a small reading lamp. The rubbed and chipped white paint gives it a relaxed quality that works particularly well in coastal and country-house interiors.
