Description

This is a handsome antique shaving stand dating to the late 1800s. Made of mahogany and mixed woods this antique piece would have once been used for storing shaving equipment and for assisting a gentleman with his morning shaving routine. The stand has a central turned pillar set onto a tripod base. The top section features a circular storage compartment with two lift up lids, set above this is a telescopic shaving mirror set onto an adjustable brass rod. This piece has been fully restored and French Polished by my partner Paul. It is now in superb condition and will make a fine addition to a modern gentlemans home.
