WashstandContext
American, ca 1870-1890. Eastlake style walnut washstand with a marble top and back. En suite with the dresser.
The Eastlake movement was a nineteenth-century architectural and household design reform movement started by British architect and writer Charles Eastlake (1836–1906). Eastlake furniture rejected Victorian curves and dramatic high-relief ornamentation, instead promoting designs that reduced furniture into simpler geometric shapes. This washstand presents ornamental details popular in Eastlake designs (wooden knobs or pulls, carved leaves, acorns or other forms of nature).
