In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors has dated this piece to the Victorian era.
It has 8 drawers, each with small turned wooden knobs.
The cabinet would have originally housed a collection of butterflies or insects or fossils and each drawer is paper lined. 6 of the 8 drawers also have their original sliding glass covers.
It is in good original condition and is certainly a very usable item. There are signs of age and use and it has picked up a few knocks, scuffs and marks over the years, particularly on the top surface, but nothing untoward and it has a good aged patina. It probably once had a door over the front and there are some small marks where hinges would have once been and have now been filled but it still displays well. There are some minor marks, stains and small holes in the paper linings in the drawers but in general the drawers are clean and tidy and they all open and close smoothly.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
