All about : Antique Shaving Stand

An antique shaving stand is a great addition to a bedroom or bathroom, if you're lucky to find one.Shaving Stand
Shaving Stands were usually narrow, tall tables with mirrors above that allowed the Victorian gentleman to take care of personal grooming easy. The paintings often had a drawer or two and maybe even the doors to a narrow office. The top was big enough to allow a mirror and shaving utensils to be placed on top. Some mirrors were attached to the stand and in some cases associated mirrors so they can be moved to facilitate shaving.
Other stands had been cut around Shave holding a pitcher and bowl. These are sometimes erroneously referred to as a wash. Wash and dry sinks stands have greater surface by shaving a small kiosk that was designed to set up in an unused corner.
Like any other antiques, some of them were very elaborate and beautifully carved, while others were little more than primitive platforms that sit in the corner of the room.
Although these attitudes were most often made of wood, there are some that were made of iron. The iron stands can generally be dated between 1900 and 1930.Images Shaving Stands
