Description :

Vintage white washstand with oval tilting mirror and blue-and-white Avon Staffordshire England ceramic wash basin. Features decorative turned and barley-twist style legs, side towel bars, round lower shelf, and a removable scalloped-edge basin decorated with cobalt blue floral transferware. A beautiful Victorian-inspired decorative piece for a bedroom, bathroom, guest room, or cottage-style interior.

Approx Measurements Range: 45–55 in tall, 20–26 in wide, 18–24 in deep

Condition: Vintage pre-owned condition with age-related wear throughout. The wooden stand has a significant split/crack at one of the upper supports that will require repair, along with additional chipping, scuffs, paint wear, and discoloration. Ceramic basin shows visible crazing, staining, and age-related surface wear, particularly around the rim. Mirror appears intact. Please review photographs carefully for the extent of wear and damage. Sold as-is.

Historical Note: Decorative washstands like this were inspired by Victorian and Edwardian bedroom washstands used before indoor plumbing became widespread. The blue-and-white basin is marked Avon Staffordshire England and reflects the long English tradition of Staffordshire transferware pottery. Later washstand sets combined these traditional ceramic designs with nostalgic Victorian-style furniture for decorative household use.

Est Value: 75–150
