Description
This charming vintage-style washstand features a classic Victorian-inspired design with a beautiful white and grey marble top. Crafted with a rich oak finish, it include a single wide drawer for storage, a lower display shelf, and an ornate backsplash with turned side rails. Ideal for use as a bar cart, entryway table, or bathroom vanity. Measurements are approximately 30"W x 18"D x 34"H.
Key Features
Genuine marble top adds significant perceived value and durability; versatile 'shabby chic' or farmhouse aesthetic; functional drawer and lower shelf; compact size suitable for small spaces.
Authenticity Indicators
The hardware style, Phillips head screws (if present), and the specific graining of the oak suggest a 1970s-80s reproduction rather than an 1880s antique. Machine-cut dovetails or staples in the drawer box would confirm this era. Confidence Level: High.
Flaws to Note
Minor scuffs on the bottom of the turned legs; potential for light water rings on the lower wood shelf; slight oxidation to the metal hardware typical of 1980s reproductions.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace (Best for local pickup), Craigslist, or a local consignment shop specializing in vintage home decor. Not suitable for shipping due to the weight and fragility of the marble.
Selling Tips
Highlight the 'Marble Top' in the title. Stage it as a 'Coffee Bar' or 'Bar Cart' to appeal to modern lifestyle trends. Use high-quality photos in natural lighting. Ensure you mention 'Local Pickup Only' and 'Heavy - please bring help to load.'
