~~OFFERS ACCEPTED~~This Sloped Desk/Washstand either resided in a ship's Captain's Quarters or was used in an upscale Hotel Room. The Ship's Captain would have used this by day as a writing desk and as a washstand by night. During this period, Hotel Bathrooms were down the hall from the guest rooms so these pieces were reserved for the finest of guest as a writing desk by day and a washstand by night. There is a highly unique deep narrow cabinet that would have been used to keep valuables. The entire Washstand/Slope Writing Desk is in its original finish. The bright red fabric and marble are all original as well. As seen in pictures, the marble is cracked and that portion between the cracks can be removed and replaced but, something as superb as this piece we believe should be left in its original condition. A metal reservoir in back is covered with ornate walnut. This wood lifts and water would have been placed in metal reservoir where it flowed through the seashell shaped opening in basin. The plug would have been lifted and the water would drain through a pipe and into a pot or large bowl inside main front cabinet. This is a fascinating furniture item! Atlanta, Ga. Pick-up or Delivery is recommended.
