Minton Tile Top Walnut Washstand / Table W/ Drawer 1840's

Here is another fine piece. I believe this piece is English in origin. The walnut table is well made and features 8 Minton tiles that were set into the top. Under the tiles you can see that the tiles were set into a type of mortar. The Minton mark is imprinted into the mortar. I believe that the tiles are original to the table, and that the table was made around the same period of the tiles. The tiles are in excellent condition with no breaks or cracks on any of them. There are some surface scratches and a couple stains. From what I could find on Minton tiles, the stamp on the back dates these tiles date from between 1837 and 1843. (See Pictures). Each tile measures 6x6. The table is 30" wide 28 1/2" tall and 18 1/2" deep. Please email with any questions. Thank You
