A lovely tabletop collectors cabinet dating from the late 19th / early 20th Century. It is a good quality piece made from stained pine and it has four drawers, each with a removable glass cover and dovetail joints.Chests such as this were used for storing a variety of things - rocks, butterflies, eggs or coins etc. The top drawer has remains of pencil labels for butterflies. Nowadays they make excellent collectors cabinets for all sorts of items or even jewellery.Overall it is in good original condition and has developed a lovely aged patina. There are signs of age and use and the cabinet has picked up some knocks and scuffs and sign of wear over the years but nothing detrimental and it displays well. There are some minor old marks and stains in the drawer linings but overall they''re clean and tidy and they open smoothly. It has been lightly cleaned and polished and it is certainly a usable piece.The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all careful...
