Basin stand
Washing stand particularly popular in America during the Chippendale, Hepplewhite and Sheraton period. The principal variety was a mahogany circular tripod. It had a molded basin ring on three scrolled supports joined by a shelf containing two narrow drawers and often surmounted by a covered urn to hold the soap. When the washing stand was closed it resembled a small bedside table.
