Victorian Walnut Washstand Cabinet with Towel Bar

Description : Late 19th to early 20th century washstand cabinet featuring two drawers above a two-door storage compartment. The piece retains its original paneled doors, decorative brass drawer pulls, key escutcheon, and turned wood towel bar supports. Finished in a later brown painted surface with visible wear from age and use, this cabinet offers practical storage while preserving its historic character. Originally designed for use as a bedroom washstand before indoor plumbing became commonplace, it now works well as an accent cabinet, entryway piece, or restoration project.
