Georgian Night Table / Basin Stand, Restored

$675

An English Sheraton-style night table/basin stand, fully restored, likely made around 1795 to 1800. A nice decorative accent that reads beautifully as a side table, bar cabinet, or entry piece.

The form, closely following Thomas Sheraton’s Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer’s Drawing Book (1793, Plate VII) features a thick rosewood veneered flip-top with circular and oval cutouts for basin and toiletry vessels, twin paneled cupboard doors below, and a pull-out drawer fitted with a gilt-tooled leather writing surface.

Mahogany with rosewood veneer, likely English origin; beech secondary with later pine inclusions. Restored and stabilized; all doors, hinges, and slides function properly. Major splits stabilized, but still visible. Minor veneer and inlay repairs consistent with age and careful restoration. Historic woodworm damage resulting in previous repairs.
