Vintage Galvanized Double Wash Tub with Stand

This item is a vintage-style utility station consisting of two rectangular galvanized steel wash tubs resting on a heavy-duty painted iron or steel frame. Each tub features horizontal ribbing for structural reinforcement, a characteristic common in mid-20th-century agricultural and domestic equipment. The tubs are finished in a weathered zinc-gray patina, showing signs of oxidation, mineral buildup, and minor surface abrasions consistent with outdoor use. The supporting stand is finished in a dark, rust-toned reddish-brown paint, appearing to have significant age-related weathering and surface rust. The stand features four square-tapered legs, typical of early to mid-20th-century industrial design. While no maker's mark is immediately visible in the image, the construction style is reminiscent of companies like Wheeling or Behrens. The item shows signs of being used as a garden planter or decorative outdoor storage, with a visible terracotta pot stored underneath. The overall condition reflects a rustic, 'shabby-chic' aesthetic, with structural integrity appearing intact despite the surface patina and weathering. Such items are highly sought after in the antiques market for adaptive reuse in modern farmhouse decor.
