Antique vanity/sink appraisal and info help?
« on: May 18, 2009, 02:50:55 pm »
Just brought this home today... I just love this piece!

Hutch has the original bevelled mirror. Copper sink. Victorian faucet with Venetian bronze finish. Barley twist columns, legs, and base.

Does anyone recognise what years/century it may be from? I'm unsure of the wood.

Thank you in advance,
Marissa

Also, I'm 5'3" and it's much taller than me... I'd guess it's about 6' tall.

Correct me if I am wrong D&B....but this appears to be an sideboard that someone has converted.  It is a beautiful piece...just not all original.  This is occurring a lot  these days.  Giving items new life  and usefulness.

It is all original, except the faucet, and was completely restored.

The "false front" top drawer tells me the included sink is original.

Guess I was looking at the fixtures....appears to me that there is a soap dispenser....that is a more modern item.  Irregardless, it is a handsome piece.

The faucet and fixtures were replaced when it was restored.

The style is jacobean. this one much later than the period it's designed from.

 No the $4700 Dollar price is with in reason if your willing too pay that a mount. insurance value is in the $ 5,000.00 Dollar range so your fine.

Oh, good, so I'm not kicking myself in the bum :)

I love antiques... Just wish I knew more about putting a value on pieces so I know when I'm overpaying!
