Antique dry sinks would have been used for everything from washing dishes and vegetables to bathing and shaving. Water for dry sinks was used sparingly as it had to be carried in from outside and heated on the stove if hot water was needed. A dry sink can be put to work in your dining room as a buffet or bar. Lower cabinet can be used to store your glassware, table linens, china and silverware. Tuck wine and liquor bottles out of sight until you are ready to set up a beverage station on top of the sink.
