The striking central bevelled mirror is framed within an elegant shaped surround, flanked by beautifully inlaid panels and supported above an attractive arrangement of glazed display compartments. The spacious serving surface below makes the piece equally practical as a dining room sideboard or statement display cabinet.

Elegant turned supports, finely detailed mouldings, and slender tapered legs complete the refined silhouette, making this a superb example of high-quality Victorian cabinet making.
