    From Nova Scotia Canada.

    I'm new to vintage furniture and am having a hard time finding the right words to describe/research this piece. What do you call the carvings? the design at the top?

    Any guesses to what century and wood type? Is it a hall tree?

    Thanks in advance!

    What are the measurements ? It "looks" like a hall tree but might be a washstand,Id guess 1870s-1880s. Great size for a smaller place .

    Thanks for additional clues! It doesn't look like most of the other hall trees that I've seen and their is no place to sit so maybe it is a wash stand w/o a bowl!

    It's at my friend's house, so I'll have to get measurements tomorrow.

    Thanks again!

    Looks like a hybrid piece inspired by the 19th century aesthetic movement, ca. 1885. Wood is either walnut or stained to look that way. It's definitely a hall tree. They came in many different shapes. This one appears to have been wed to a commode, but of course it's really just for storage of boots, etc. Not many folks would have felt comfortable using a commode in the front hallway. :)
