Description / Expertise
Ross of Dublin Washstand.
As can be seen from the brass plaque, this mahogany campaign washstand was made by Ross & Co. Most campaign furniture makers made washstands working to the same principals as this one, although they used brass standard supports. Other than J.W. Allen, who illustrate a similar washstand in their advert of 1867, Ross are the only other makers known to favour the use of turned wooden supports. Indeed J.W. Allen's also illustrated washstands with brass standards. When dismantled the washstand breaks down into ten pieces, that is to say two shelves, four columns and four legs. The parts aren’t numbered, probably because they are interchangeable. The brass name plague to the top shelf gives the address of 9,10 & 11 Ellis Quay, allowing us to date the washstand to circa 1860. We are very happy to email or fax full condition reports upon request
