Corner Dry Sink

It is unusual in Ontario to find bow front furniture that dates from before Confederation, in 1867. Generally it reflects a European influence, such as in the curved front and lower door of this dry sink. The small size of this example suggests that it may have been made to fit into a corner in a bedroom.
