Mid 19th Century Salting Table

A truly bonny specimen of a mid 19th century Yorkshire dale's cottage sink or salting table. They can be useful for dog washing in boot rooms, or as an attractive curiosity of a kitchen sink. Old stone sinks were often found in old cottages, historic country houses and farm-house kitchens (in the Pennines they were called 'slop-stones') and were used specifically as salting tables during the process of preserving meat, particularly pork and fish.
