Description

A fabulous antique specimen cabinet dating from the late 19th Century. It is an excellent quality piece with hinged Wellington style covers and 12 drawers. Each drawer has a brass knob and hand painted number. This particular chest was originally used to store a collection of butterflies and insects and each drawer has a lift-off glass cover to preserve the specimens.

It is in good original condition and displays very nicely. It has picked up a few knocks and marks over the years and signs of age and use but nothing detrimental and it has a lovely aged patina. The drawers open and close smoothly and are generally clean and tidy inside with a few stains and marks and small tears in the paper linings. It has been gently cleaned and polished and is ready for use.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
