<p>[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 4403494, member: 5170"]Looks like a charming pine washstand ca. 1880 with a "cottage" paint job. Hard to tell if the paint has ever been enhanced or not; the drips on the interior of the door make me think so. Anyway, it projects the original feel. It probably would have been part of a bedroom set that included a dresser and bed frame painted in a similar fashion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and it might have had a backsplash or gallery at one time; check the upper back for empty holes where wood screws may have been. It's likely that your washstand was made in NYC due to geographical proximity, but I suppose it could have been made in Nova Scotia or Labrador, ha ha. That's a joke, except the NYC part.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ms. G and I watched "Anne with an E" and I think the set pieces are generally pretty accurate.
