An absolutely stunning early 1900s antique English aesthetic movement walnut sideboard with marble and Minton tile inserts set atop black cast iron legs. Heavily hand carved with botanical motifs and ornamented with original brass chinoiserie hardware. One long drawer and two compartments with doors offer storage while two upper shelves and the lower shelf offer display space. Originally this was a lower washstand but at some point in time the antique case iron legs were added to raise up the piece into a sideboard. While normally I look for pieces in original condition I thought this was a particularly good modification. It allows this stunning piece to serve a modern function, unlike antique washstands which are low and difficult to use today. Measures 63"high x 44.5"wide x 21"deep Condition commensurate with age and use. Some wear to the wood, particularly on the top near the marble, see last photo. Originally this piece was a lower washstand. At some point in time someone added old black iron legs to the bottom to convert to a sideboard.
