What is an antique wash stand?
An antique wash stand was a stand, typically made of wood, that was designed to hold a washing pitcher and basin. A wash stand was an early version of the modern bathroom sink. It sometimes would have a hole or indentation to help hold the basin still and some were designed to also hold a mirror. On 1stDibs, find an array of antique wash stands.
