washstand

Small table for washing

A washstand is a small table or cabinet designed to hold a basin and pitcher for washing, common in bedrooms before indoor plumbing.

The term now applies to any small bathroom furniture piece, typically holding a sink: an antique washstand converted to a vanity.
