Also Antique Furniture has dated this Regency Rosewood Collectors Cabinet to the Regency era.
The cabinet is arranged with two banks of six small drawers, each fitted with turned rosewood knobs and secured by a vertical locking stile in the manner of a Wellington chest. Between them is an open mirrored compartment fitted with shaped shelves, surmounted by an attractive pierced Gothic and foliate fretwork apron.
The rosewood has an attractive rich colour and figuring, particularly across the drawer fronts, while the mirrored central section gives the cabinet an unusually decorative appearance.
A distinctive and useful piece, well suited to use as a collector's cabinet for jewellery, watches, coins, curiosities or other small objects.

CONDITION
The cabinet is in very good antique condition overall, with minor marks, knocks and scratches consistent with age and use. There is some light age-related spotting to the mirror. The drawers run smoothly and the cabinet is sound and sturdy. There are no keys present, although the locks are currently unlocked. A particularly attractive and usable cabinet, retaining its original character and presenting well throughout.
As with all antique and vintage furniture, this piece has been used and enjoyed over many years and should be expected to show signs of age and use. We aim to describe any significant faults, repairs or alterations as accurately and honestly as possible. The photographs form an important part of the description and should be viewed alongside the written condition report.
