Description

This graceful reproduction of a washstand is done in the 19th-century Vienna bentwood style. It consists of a screwed mirror, a porcelain basin, and an under-shelf where a pitcher is typically placed. The two bentwoods on the opposite sides of the basin serve as towel racks.

The whole piece is sustained by three long and slim bentwoods.

This item is part of the DM Guevara Collection, which pays tribute to the Filipino artisans of the past two centuries. Comprising of both fine furniture collections and folk implements, the collection highlights Western and Asian influences that are exquisite and functionally Filipino. The DM Guevara Collection was put together by the family matriarch Carmen S. Guevara for the Museo ng Buhay Pilipino in 1979.
