A beautiful early 19th-century Federal Period corner wash stand crafted from richly figured tiger maple, displaying the bold, shimmering grain characteristic of the finest New England cabinetry of the period. The stand features a triangular top with an arched backsplash and small upper shelf, elegantly shaped to fit neatly into a corner while offering graceful vertical balance.
Supported by delicately turned legs, the piece includes a lower triangular shelf with a single drawer centered along the apron—originally intended to store washroom accessories or linens. The craftsmanship and design details, including the refined turnings and restrained proportions, align closely with rural Federal examples from the early 1800s, likely of New England origin. The tiger maple exhibits a warm golden amber tone, enhanced by generations of hand polishing.
In nice antique condition consistent with age and use, showing minor wear and light surface marks typical of a utilitarian stand of this period. The figure of the wood remains vivid throughout, making this piece both a striking decorative accent and an authentic example of early American craftsmanship in highly sought-after tiger maple. 39h x 23w x 17d
