Summers in the early 1800’s in the Blue Grass of Kentucky might have included an afternoon spent washing pots and pans in this dry sink found in the summer kitchen, or cleaning up after a meal out in the side yard under an old tree. Oh the stories this piece could tell. This stunning early Kentucky dry sink dates back to the very early 1800’s and the wear marks help to tell a little more along the way. Made of indigenous wood, this stout piece is crafted very primitively, reflecting the utilitarian era of this part of the country at that time. Constructed with dove-tail joints and rose-head nails, this dry sink has a paint wash on it that appears to be original to the piece. Worm holes and wear to the wood give it very unique characteristics reflecting the possible locations this sink might have been found in over 220 plus years.
