This cabinet is in fine condition and of a beautiful colour and patination. It has turn out half pillars which are lockable and both original locks are present and fully functional. The drawers all have closely fitting glazed frame tops and are base lined with papered cork. The drawers run smoothly and are an excellent fit.

I welcome all questions regarding this item and have to say that my pictures do not really do justice to it. It is an exceedingly good example of its type and the proportions, colour, and design are just so!
I specialise in this type of furniture and encourage potential customers to make contact and perhaps visit the cabinet office, here in hartland, where they will not be disappointed with our collection of cabinets and natural history antiques.
I am well versed in the safe and practical delivery of this furniture so please contact me with your requirements in this respect.
Thank you.
