I found a matching set of a bed, a bureau and a wash stand that we had in our bedroom for years. I spent many hours cleaning the varnish out of the intricate wooden designs. My bestie bought it from me when I moved west, and she still has it!<br />Your washbowl set is pretty, I've never seen one so complete. So sad the pieces got broken. <br /><br /><a href="http://genealogychallenges.blogspot.ca//" rel="nofollow"><b> My A to Z Genealogy Challenges</b></a>Dianne Nolinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797088253825763863noreply@blogger.com
