Description
This beautiful, antique sink was manufactured at the turn of the century by Standard A. & O. (American & Ohio). The sink features a classic, oval shape with porcelain handles, a dainty spout and "Waste" marked on the waste drain. The sink is composed of enameled cast iron and includes two matching legs and two wall brackets. The underside of the sink shows the manufacturer's marks "Standard A.&O." and also the model number "P3050" and measurements "22-33" (for 22" deep and 33" wide)!
History: The sink was salvaged from the Maridor, an estate in Roanoke, Virginia built in 1916. The Maridor received its name from its third owner, Marion Augustus Smyth, President of National Business College who re-named the home "Maridor" after his two children, Marion and Dorothy.
Condition: Good condition and includes all original parts for installation. Chrome-plated fixtures show wear, small pitting and patina. Chrome strainer finish is worn down to the brass. There are rough chips and rust around the strainer opening. The valve stem on the right side handle is bent. Please see pictures.
