Atropos Antiques has dated this piece to the 1890s.
THE DRAWERS EACH HAVE A TIGHTLY FITTING GLAZED TOP WITH ORIGINAL GLASS AND RUN SMOOTHLY ON HIDDEN RUNNERS. THESE DRAWERS ARE ALL CAPABLE OF ACCOMMODATING CONTINENTAL LENGTH PINS.
THE CABINET IS BUILT WITH BEAUTIFULLY FIGURED WALNUT AND ALL THE ORIGINAL FITTINGS ARE PRESENT. THE LOCK AND HINGES ARE NICKEL PLATED AND OF TOP QUALITY BUILD. THE PICTURES REALLY DO NOT DO JUSTICE TO THE FINISH AND COLOUR OF THIS PIECE.
I FEEL THAT THIS CABINET, IF USED FOR LEPIDOPTERA WOULD BE IDEAL FOR THE VERY BEST OF A COLLECTION, PERHAPS A PARTICULARLY SPECIAL SERIES OR FOR HIGH VALUE ABERRATIONS. IT WOULD SERVE VERY WELL FOR A MEDAL COLLECTION, BEING NOT ONLY A PRACTICAL ITEM BUT VERY GOOD LOOKING WITH A HINT OF 'CAMPAIGN' ABOUT IT.
ALTOGETHER A SUPERB PIECE OF FURNITURE.
