Details & Features:
• Solid Wood Construction
Crafted from solid wood with paneled sides and clean, squared lines. The piece shows a warm aged patina and original finish, with wear consistent with more than a century of use.
• Single Drawer & Cabinet Storage
A highly practical configuration with:
• One dovetailed drawer (approx. 12” W × 13” D × 4” H), featuring a carved wooden pull
• Below, a cabinet door opens to a spacious interior divided by a fixed shelf:
• Lower compartment: approx. 9½” tall
• Upper compartment: approx. 9” tall
• Beveled Drawer Molding
The drawer edges are framed in beveled molding that was originally painted black—a stylistic accent typical of the era. Much of the paint has worn away over time, creating an appealing aged aesthetic that highlights the piece’s authenticity.
• Marble Top
Topped with a white marble slab with gray veining, shaped to match the contours of the base. The marble is solid and structurally sound but does show considerable staining and surface discoloration, as seen in the photos. This is fully consistent with age and prior use.
• Shaped Base & Feet
The piece stands on a subtly shaped apron base with small foot details that echo the restrained Victorian lines, lending visual weight and stability.
