Hitchcock-Style Two-Drawer Washstand with Hand-Stenciled Fruit Basket Motif

Annihilate the landfill, because good bones and gold stenciling deserve another century.

This is the kind of piece that made Connecticut famous. A classic Hitchcock-style two-drawer washstand in maple and black lacquer, featuring hand-stenciled gold fruit basket and floral motifs on the backsplash and drawer fronts. The turned legs with gold banding are textbook Federal Revival, likely mid-20th century production. The cherry-toned maple top shows honest wear—some scratches and a water ring on the lower shelf—but the stenciling remains crisp and the drawers slide true. Built to outlast trends.

The D'Beetle Difference • Classic Stencil Work Intact: Gold fruit basket and grape motifs on backsplash; symmetrical floral scrollwork on both drawer fronts. The decorative painting shows minimal wear—no flaking or significant loss.

• Solid Two-Tier Storage: Two dovetailed drawers with original brass rosette pulls. Middle shelf provides display or storage space. Approximately 28"H x 22"W x 16"D based on proportions.

• Turned Legs With Gold Banding: All four legs feature ring turnings with hand-painted gold accents. Sturdy construction—no wobble, no repairs visible.
