What is a dry sink used for?

A dry sink is a piece of furniture that was popular in the 19th century. It was used in kitchens or pantries as a place to store and wash dishes. The top of the sink would often be made of wood or metal and would have a shallow basin to hold water. The base of the sink would typically have one or more cabinets or drawers for storage. The dry sink was called that because there was no plumbing involved. Instead, water needed to be added manually to the basin. Dry sinks were often made of oak, pine, or other types of wood and were sometimes painted or decorated with stencils. Today, dry sinks are often used as decorative pieces in homes or as storage for items such as towels or linens.
